Vintage Heartbreak

I wanted to portray what heartbreak in the earlier days might have looked like; a rose lays dying near the telephone where a whiskey glass sits, long forgotten by the drinker.

There is an air of mystery and wonder to the image that makes one question what happened; why would someone leave a glass of whiskey unfinished; was this rose from an affair gone wrong? 

I include 3 images that I took throughout my time creating my main image, and I chose these images because I feel that it pulls the story together.
