it was very hard getting the rose head into focus, i ended up using manual focus, for the better, and it still was just too tricky. It sybolises the beauty of a new born "rose" and one on the line of death.

Nice rendition of life and death. Life is shown pretty good, death is somewhat blurred and not really in the single image of the topic. Looks like too much light to.
I think the color's a little wonky on this one, too bright. Also, I see a lot of noise- too much brightness/contrast? I'm not crazy about teh composition either, seems a little "bottom heavy".
