An interesting idea, and well composed. A couple of small niggles; (1) The rose appears past its prime, with some interesting colour fringing on the petals, and (2) The blown highlights in the upper area could use some attention. I think this could be much improved with some more dramatic lighting. As-is, it's perfectly lit if you were showing it in a shoe catalogue, but I'm seeing this a more low-key shot, with some long shadows. Think "snoot".
