After reading your description, I realized you were holding the flowers. Therefore you do get a bit of motion blurr on some of the petals. To make it even sharper, place the flowers into a jar or vase, so make them really still. The green background was a good idea to eliminate clutter.
I like the way the dry rose is surrounded by live colour. The thing with colours is that the brighter ones attract your eyes better than the dark ones, and therefore the yellow one on the bottom distracts a bit from the main dry rose. On the other hand it creates a nice contrast. So perhaps less of it showing would achieve more balanced photo.
Try different composition or a vertical shot. But over all this is not a bad photo. It really fits the challenge well. |
