Broken valentine rose, C & C please

[luvmyfamily]

Could you explain what you want with this picture? What is it you want to convey? If it is what I think it is, the glowingly red rose isn't doing the trick (for me).

Photo meant to be simple. I simply broke a rose while putting it in a vase and thought of putting it to use as a photo subject and practice. I'm practicing......I can do it in B&W, hmmmm.
Megan....yeah, I guess he should be doing dishes and laundry today

Last try for today, got stuff to do like dishes and laundry. This was 2nd try, but I still like the comp in pic #1 as well. Also, I am not sure I'd like this in a B&W (although I love B&W) because it would drown out the color of the rose which is what the focus is. Hmmmmmm..............

Exposure time, sec: 1/60
Aperture (F): 9.50
ISO speed rating: 100
Lens focal length, mm: 41.0
Aperture (APEX): 9.5
Flash: Flash did not fire, compulsory flash mode
Shutter speed (APEX): 0.0156 (1/64)
Exposure mode: Manual exposure
White balance: Manual white balance

The first 2 are much better IMO! The rose doesn't look to be in as good shape as before. Very pretty rose though! Happy Valentines Day!

Shouldn't your man do the dishes and laundry today? It should be your day - screw the men!!! LOL!

I personally love the reshoot. But that's just me.

My hubby treated me right!!! I woke up with cards, presents, shopping trip, donuts and coffee

Really? I always considered V day to be a two way street.. not just one way! I try to make every day somewhat romantic and affectionate... not just V-day! And yes.. Screwing is nice too!

I think a good portion of women consider the "screwing" part of the two way street just kidding

Sure, simple is great! However, what was it you wanted to practice? You can't rely on the angle of the shot by itself, it need some weight. I thought you wanted to send across a message of "failed valentine" or something, with a broken rose on the ground. I then thought that desaturating the image would greatly improve it, by getting the mentioned message across better.

But if you can't explain what it is you took the photo for, other than "for practice" and just for the sake of taking it, then I'm not sure how to help. Something like this was what I had in mind, but I may not be improving it at all. Just how I would have edited it.

So Screwing is not nice? Is that what you mean? Or just not with me?

I love the edit too! I thought you meant completely B&W.....I actually thought of doing this. I guess I need to have a "theme" for every photo with a meaning?
