you've captured "inviting" and "mysterious" with your gate. One of my favorites this challenge - only suggestion is to show a bit more of the left side (although that would put less of the theme in the shot)

Comment by Azrifel:
The composition here is pretty strong and I like the effect of the shallow dof and except for that brigt spot on the vase the lighting is very good. However there seems to be a strong blue (cold) color cast over the image. A coldness that I would not expect from such flowers. Cure for the blues (at first I didn't notice the title)?
For me the cure was a grey point sample curve on the background. It resulted in this:
//www.pbase.com/image/37383216 On this edited version the yellow and green seems more natural and the flowers stand out a lot more. On the other hand my grey bg is a bit dull, so outside dpc I might blend in some of the original blue again for the background only.
My main interest: I love it how the flowers stand out dof-wise and the composition with such a classic simple but pretty vase. I hope you do well.
