Rose and Vase

My little friend in Los Angeles called again and this time she said that she loves the rose photo I took in the kitchen. She keeps saying :" I like it... "
Well, Thi here is a shot of a different rose with a vase. The stale rose contrasts highly with the vase with a shape like a blossomed beauty.
I like the shadow on the counter even though some might think I should wash the shadow completely.
