Greetings from the Critique Club :)
Hi Zadore...
This is an interesting concept of before and after... Just one note of interest on the composition... General rule of thumb says that photos read like a book... left to right and top to bottom. You may have considered mirroring this image horizontally to compose the new fresh rose on the left (before) and the old dead rose on the right (after) just for the simple sake of creating a fluid composition to match the challenge title.
The glass in the bottom of the frame isn't really contributing much to the image. I would have considered cropping that part out possibly or recomposing the shot to eliminate that. It's shadow on the backdrop is a little strange looking also.
I do like the choice of the dark backdrop. Moving it a little further into the background would have reduced the dominance of the lighting on it and possibly, with a shallow depth of field, created some nice light gradient on the background...
Keep up the good work :)
