Comment by Tammer:
While there are highlights, overall there are many areas which are very similar in tonal value. Also, the photo doesn't have that "wow" factor of other entries in the challenge. I do like how your subject matter is off-centered though.

Comment by LucidLotus:
Definite contrast. I like the composition in the respects of how the image is laid out. I'm not too keen on the lighting, the glare on the vases is too stark for me - though I suppose it does match the high grain of the image. That said I'm not enthralled with the use of grain in this case either - I'm not against grain in general, it just doesn't seem to serve a purpose in this image. I cannot see what vision you are trying to bring across with its use so it seems out of place in my mind. What I do enjoy is that swathe of light/reflection? across the bottom of both vases below the annoying bar of light. The swathe on the vase closes looks almost like a dancer leaping into the air, I think that abstract flowing look adds a nice interest touch. I gave a 5.

The glare from the distracting objects bottom left is the biggest issue I see here, and a slightly different viewpoint would have solved this.

Interesting shot, I would have voted higher if there was less noise.

Wow - absolutely beautiful. Fantastic focus & DOF. Gorgeous tones. My only slight criticism is the border (and it's not bad, I just don't think it adds to the image). Great job.

Pretty. Light and airy. The circular reflections add a little something.
