FIRST IMPRESSION: Very emotive shot - the rose really captures my eye, and makes me want to examine the rest of the photograph closer.

CHALLENGE: I'll have to take your word for it, as I've never seen Citizen Kane. However, given what you said the shot is mimicing, I'd say it's met.

COMPOSITION: If you hadn't mentioned the color adjustment, I don't know if I would have noticed - the color of the rose bears a striking contrast to the monochromatic colors of the remainder. Having read your comment, I see that is what you were going for. I like the framing as well.

TECHNICAL: The upper portion of the photograph is a hair darker than I'd like to see it. I like the black itself, but the portion of the hardware in the shot up in that area gets lost due to the very close color.

CONCLUSION: Meets the challenge well, and holds my interest as a viewer. The composition and technical aspects of this shot make it quite intriguing - if this movie were colorized, I wonder if they'd do the same thing with the color of the rose.

Thanks for sharing and good luck in future challenges!

Thanks to all for taking the time to comment. All are very helpful and I am happy that you enjoyed the set up. I had fun with it and managed to find a rosebud at a neighbor's hidden in some tall grass. I know the movie was in black and white but the rosebud lacked "punch" as black. Thanks again.

I thought about Citizen Kane. Didn't have the right "stuff" though. I like the lighting and composition on this one.
