I expected this to place much higher. I gave it 10. I don' understand why more people didn't agree with me, except a couple of comments mention the lighting.

Definitely looks like a Sherpet to me. I really like the background. The colors complement the subject so well.

Nice idea for a subject. Lighting doesn't quite do it justice though.

Can't identiful any area that is dead sharp focused, nice composition and color and I like the red background... just needs a focus point.

Comment by Paul:
Greetings from the Critique Club:

This is a pretty effect. The 'flower' and its glow against the wall work really well and I like the overall coloration too. I do think this might work better with a much lower exposure - I note your aperture is set to f/3.5 and can't wondering how it would have looked at f/8 and 30 seconds.... I know'd you'd have lost the bottom of the vast then, but a brief sweep with the match lower down the image to finish off would probably have worked.

Overall, I like it very much as a concept but feel that the highlights from the top of the vase down would look better suppressed a little.

Nice though.
