Anyone besides me loathe 2/14?

Using my favorite monochrome function, I took this picture of a somewhat burned rose and made it into my Anti-Valentine's Day sig. It's not my best work, but it subtlely conveys a very bitter and sarcastic message about mid-winter commercialism.

The photograph was taken in late February last year in Port Mayaca. I really wanted to get a picture of a burning rose, but even after a week of drying the thing out, it still wouldn't catch a spark long enough for me to get a picture. The bottle in which the rose sits (which I slightly retooled) was a Budweiser bottle I found on the concrete deck by the canal. In this shot, I had yet to try burning the rose as it sat in the bottle.

If you want to use this for any reason, go right ahead. Also, feel free to rate it however you please.
