Very few things seen in this image are real: this a studio shot, the rose is real but there's no ice over it - it's a mixture of sugar and glue. The background is a white curtain :)
If you have mistaken it for real, well, I reached my goal!

Very delicate, and quite lovely. Just love the tones and colors in this dying rose. Wish there was a smidge more detail in the snow encrusting the rose, but that's a minor nit :)
You've captured some really nice details and textures seen in the withered rose. The ice crystals coating the rose does give me the feel of chill and cold in the air. But being honest, the ice and the white backdrop speaks more strongly of winter then of autumn. I have a feeling that many in your audience would classify this as an image that speaks more Winter than Fall. It's a good strong composition that I feel would have shown better if the challenge had been Winter.
I like this image quite a bit, i think it's a touch underexposed and maybe a bit more contrast (a bit, really) could help. The Idea this conveys is the important aspect of the image and you've done it well... so it's one of my top picks
