Comment by Gracious:
Some of the detail seems to be lost. Perhaps a different lighting might bring out some more of it. Lightening it in a photo editing program might work too.
The composition is simple and straightforward and that is one of the fine qualities of this image. The shape stands out nicely, though a little more contrast would make it really snappier. I think the blue background is fine, but again with a little more contrast it would be sharper.
OVerall this is nice, but needs a little snap to make it more appealing.

Beautiful va'se. It's a va'se not a vase. Good job of catching it's beauty. Technically good photo. Don't change a thing. Would have been as pretty with any solid soft background, even soft white. PTL 8

Not bad but I think there is actually too much blue here.

That is one lovely vase. It looks old and expensive. Please don't tell you got it at Pier ONE. LOL Colbolt blue. Nice. Now your shot is good too, I do think it's a little dark. Maybe more lighting here. Nice work. Justine

Comment by Anachronite:
it's blue, but kinda boring... perhaps a different light source and angle to spruce it up a bit?

I think a white background would have served this picture better than the light blue. Too much blue in the picture for me. (even though the challenge is blue)

Looks very cool, but I think the reflection of the window is actually distracting. -stephan

Great close-up. I find the reflection a bit distracting though. Nothing you won't be able to fix later with PSP or photoshop. Good luck in the challenge. Jacko 8
