Judge's comment: The haiku is good, having a hint of shocking aspect. The haiga should carry the similar tone, but here, the photo is manipulated in such a way that it appears too soft for the feel of the haiku. Other digital effects such as those that sharpen or high-lighten the outlines of the roses might work well with this haiku.
