The Last Rose - created by arca
She held the rose in her hands, she had held so many of them in the last few days. As the thorns tore again at her finger she watched the blood flow. Legend told that the Blooding of a White Rose would save them from the devastation, famine, and war that would soon be upon them. She watched as the rose became stained with her blood, ignoring the pain in her hands. It was nothing to the desperate ache in her heart. A heart that cried out for the legends to be true; It had to be, this was The Last Rose!
PL-E-E-E-A-SE VIEW IN HI-RES ... texture and detail just make this compressed version look blurry ;-)
Thank you to pinkpaint-stock for the lady image and zommy for the Rose. All other photo's used are my own (see SBS).

"Why?" - created by pingenvy
To explain the title, I picture this boy withdrawn in the dark room from some unknown sad event. That's just the situation I imagine from the scene.
I just tried to focus on believability and atmosphere. The brick wall photo is mine.Thanks for the other source photos from homero nuñez chapa (toy car), Lydiat (bookstore), Pamporoff (old Books), and Vincent Crivello (boy) (5 years and 3598 days ago)
CMYK46 says:
Why what? It's a nicely done image, but I don't get the relevance of the title. The shadows of the boy & toy should rotate about 5 degrees counterclockwise.
ponti55 says:
very nice blend of sources, and excellent shadows. Great job!
jawshoewhah [banned] says:
I would adjust the shadows on the kid and car. Only noticable in high res but they kind of seem like the are floating. The books are a better match as far as correct shadow. I was confused by the title too. Perhaps you could include that in your description.
EDIT: It appears like you made the shadow adjustment. I didn't mention before but you did go a good job on the perception and felt I must give you props. 
chaplain says:
So far my favorite in this contest. The use of a vanishing point is outstanding. Few things are more satisfying than finding a nice quiet place to read, play with a car, or just be alone. I really like the feel of this peice.
JKSinger says:
very nice g.l
divair says:
Very good work
RickLaMesa says:
the doorway is off center
author says:
Thanks for the contructive comments. Yes I did adjust the shadows per CMYK46 about 2.5 degrees & tried to clarify the title. I also adjusted the shadow under the car(thanks jawshoewhaw) and trimmed the edges of the shadow because it had a bit of a curve to it. RickLaMesa, The source window was off center too. I just put the door where the window was, lol.
George55 says:
looks real nice...gl
closedeyes says:
nice blending of sources author... well done...
nasirkhan says:

Glockman says:

WOW! Great entry!
Thanks Robster.
Great, with a preraphaelite feeling
I don't know what that means, but it sounds fancy.
Well, it is a British art movement:

and your chop makes me think of Ophlia:
