the dead flowers on his side are quite clever. i want to say i wish you hadn't done that 2 tone thing, but perhaps it adds to the interest. Diet dr pepper feels strange as a prop...definitely needed some more beer for this shoot.
This is a really good idea. I like the dead rose and the way the bad and good are divided. You should have watched the news paper on the back of the couch but it gives a good idea that the image is still one. Looks good, I would give you a 9 out of 10. I really like the way you think.
