Yes that is how much light it takes to photograph dark unreflective rust. It is far too much for the rose whose beauty is lost in glare. If the rose could be in the shade and the rust in full sunlight, I think you could have a really nice photo, although I would place the container so it did not bisect the lower square pipe and the picture itself.
Good idea. The light on the rose and the leaves is a little harsh and I think you could have improved the composition by not having the main subject so centralized.
a little less brightness would have made the world of difference in this picture. gallery style(well done) but over exposed. In my opinion I would have cropped out the top part so the square was there as I find it very distracting.
