This is totally a personal preference here. I think I'd really like this better without the water drops. To me, when the water drops are on a rose, it reminds me that the rose is fresh, and new and full of life. The water makes it seem even more alive. This shot, suposed to represent despair, I think should have no water drops. I realize that water drops are added to make something interesting, so it isn't JUST a rose, but there is no reason for this rose to have water. it's dead, and sad. otherwise, the focus and clarity are great. angle and framing/cropping are excelent and the background is also good. I like how it fades color. Great shot. good luck in the challenge.
this is a pretty picture, but drops of water don't really go with your "wilted" rose... one would expect to see them on a fresh flower, as a result of watering or rain - neither would apply in this situation...
Hmm.. The addition of water is distracting to this photo - usually it's used to convey a feeling of freshness or morning dew, not despair. Without it, the photo would have been a 7 in my book.
