flash too strong?
bounce up?

or since it is still life, can mounting your camera on a tripod and lower the shutter instead of having flash? hehe

My humble views:

1. Composition is nice. Good lead to the main subject.

2. From your descrpition, would it be better to have a dried rose with dried leaves to protray "wilted"? The green leaves seem to contradict the writeup.

3. I feel that some parts are overburnt. Especially the boundaries between the rose and its shadow, as well as the leaves and their shadow. You might have done it intentionally, but it doesn't work for me. Sorry. Would prefer to see a clearer distinction. Your technique will work if your overall photo is blurry or dreamy, but since it is a sharp shot, it would be good to see details.

Cheers!

edit: "overblown" to "overburnt"... paiseh..

Not that wilted, hrm, not what I had in mind when I came in.

Don't mean to be nitpicky, but your "thorns" in the caption is spelt wrong.
