After reading your description, I realized you were holding the flowers. Therefore you do get a bit of motion blurr on some of the petals. To make it even sharper, place the flowers into a jar or vase, so make them really still. The green background was a good idea to eliminate clutter.
I like the way the dry rose is surrounded by live colour. The thing with colours is that the brighter ones attract your eyes better than the dark ones, and therefore the yellow one on the bottom distracts a bit from the main dry rose. On the other hand it creates a nice contrast. So perhaps less of it showing would achieve more balanced photo.
Try different composition or a vertical shot. But over all this is not a bad photo. It really fits the challenge well. |

CC Club here!
Nice shot. A little busy though, play around with your items when you have them on the table. The dead rose could have just had one or two of the live roses with it. At the moment it is being swamped by the others. The two blurred in the background are just out of alignment with the rest of the photograph.
Different heights of the flowers would have made this a more interesting shot, instead of them all being on the same eye level. More emphasis on the dead flower would be a good idea.
Your ISO is fairly high for having a light working too, this could account for some of the grain I am seeing.
You placed well with this shot |

| Here is life and death in a single image. These colors are great but a little too much light and the clarity of the live roses could've been a little more sharp. |
