The definition of complicity [2] is “involvement as an accomplice in a questionable act or a crime.” So these roses are not your normal, law-abiding citizens. 
This is along the same thread as Simplicity [3] and Implicity [4], my other photos of roses, which have similar backdrops.
I spent three hours getting the rose and background to look just right. I used the kit lens as it’s the closest I have to macro, but it lacks good “bokeh [5]” (blurring in out-of-focus areas), so I blurred the background in Photoshop, but sharpened the flowers to make them stand out. I desaturated and darkened the background as normal, and went for a less colorful, more contrasty look than Simplicity [3].
Buy a 4*6 copy for $0.95 (USA only). Lustre finish. After adding, go to your shopping cart [6].
