I can only tell that this is taken utilising a shallow depth of field from the hint of a third leaf to the rear left. For this challenge, I feel that you would have been better choosing a background which would have allowed for some bokeh to act as a foil to the rose. As it is, it gives the apearance of a studio shot with a solid background - fine, but not, perhaps, ideal for this challenge.

placing of potatoes could be given attention... a really excellent photo but the placing just does not grab me 7

I like this, but a couple more things could make this a bit more interesting and engaging....yes, potatoes "could" be engaging...

if you had turned the basket/photo to be at an angle...that to me would add more interest, it's slightly turned now, but if it were slightly to the upper right side I think that would make a difference....something to get it away from that centered look

the other question I have....did you do USM...I also think that that would make a marked improvement...finishing polishing this off you could say...

no insult is intended...but yours stood out in the thumbnails and I had to take a closer look and remember...IJMO

Good image with nice lighting on the rose. The dark top left corner is distracting. IMHO, a tighter crop to eliminate that element would have been a benefit. Overall very good though.

I would like to see this image with a tighter crop...so that all you had was an image of potatoes...I think that could have worked really well. 5

This is almost so good. It's clean, and well lit. But the composition seems a bit off, as though the tilt of the basket was non-committal. It's neither tilted enough, or too much. And the crop doesn't seem to follow any of the normal photographic rules. It's neither centered, nor thirds.

Nicely lit, and the potatoes are attractively coloured.
