I went to my local cemetary with the intent of shooting a dead rose on a tombstone, with the headstones in the background out of focus, but I found this old bottle with dead flowers already resting on a stone, and decided to use that instead. In editing I adjusted the levels to bring the jar and flowers into sharper contrast with the background and I adjusted the coloring slightly to give the overall picture a duller and browner tone.

wow, this is a great ideal I like the way you think, loved the composition here too. Yeah, it feels sad... forgotten indeed. I wish the photo could be in larger size. Bet it would make a much bigger impact. Among the photos I scored so far, this is one of the bests that really used the background to enhance the subject. Good luck!
I think this would be much more impactful if you utilized the maximum 640 pixelation allowed. I wish that there were at least one semblance of a flower still in the vase- maybe you could've put it there for a bit of punch.
