I would like an extensive critique of my image please.

Yeah, I'm old enough to have original Beetles LP's! I was looking for something different to photograph this rose and came up with this idea. Tell me what you think.

I really like it. The only thing that bothers me a bit is the black in the upper right corner, it distracts a bit.

I really like it & think it's a great idea!
My only niggle is that the rose is covering part of Johns face.
Other than that...perfecto!

I agree, it bothers me also. I tried different crops but there's no way to make it work.

@ Mac - My only niggle is that the rose is covering part of Johns face.

Yeah, I like that the flower breaks the continuity of the oval, that was by design. But I think you're right, it could show more of Johns face. Guess I'll to play with the composition a bit. Have to wait for a new rose though, that one is now fully open!

Thanks for the feedback!

Good concept. The comp and quality is good. Put me in the "don't like the black corner" group however.
