Nice concept...lighting is a bit harsh on the white flower; contrast a bit too dark for great detail in the red. Would like to see this again with a bit better lighting. It has potential. :o)
I might have cropped this one a bit differently - but other than that - this is beautiful!
Love the way the light is strong on the live flower and dull on the dead one - this photo truly fits the category! Very good work! (9)
the lighting could be better. i think a weaker, more diffuse light and longer exposure would help. a less reflective black surface would also help. focus, DOF, and sharpness are good.
