Notes: It was a pink rose - and the color version was interesting but didn't seem as complete as this sepia version. The B&W version didn't seem as withered - so I'm sticking with the sepia to give it that old vintage feel. Not sure how it will rate - I hope at least a 5.0 - not the most interesting of subjects and the lighting is a little blown out in the center. I still like it though :)

Nice choice of subject and I like the tones a lot. I am wishing for more detail in the dark areas. Also, I think that you've included way too much emptiness in the left part of the frame.
