A dead miniature rose, take from underneath, on auto with the flash off. Basic overhead light. I love taking pictures of people/things from "their" level. Edits: resize, crop, contrast and sharpen. BTW: Played with hue/saturation, but I didn't think it improved on the pic, so I set it back to the actual.

SiSi, I'm sorry about the first comment I made on your image, as I don't really think it was that helpful, especially considering the context of the challenge. Sure, there are a number of things you could do differently from a technical standpoint to improve the image, but what you have done so far is not without merit. I'm glad to see you improving, and as long as you keep trying, you'll get where you want to be.
Technically a good photograph. Just a bit noisy in the shadows. Main concern is: where is the groundbreaking photographic technique? It's not readily apparent and therefore not the best entry for this particular challenge.
I can't see what special photography technique you would have used for this. Also, it's not very appealing. There's some distracting noise in the background, which also has a few distracting elements in it. 4.
