Maybe this should have been taken on a timer to remove the reflection of your fingers?

Good picture but I have to stretch my imagination a bit to see the right angles as strenght of the picture

How do you get your carrots to come out of the ground ready washed?
I'd lose the carrots and just the strong red tomatoes againts a field of fresh green, perhaps with the veg patch in the background.

Howdy from the Critique Club --

Just to start, this is a very striking image that I enjoy quite a bit. It fits the challenge well and was obviously well-received. Congratulations on a great shot.

What I like: the use of the vertical blinds as a backdrop is excellent -- a relatively common object that has a pattern that's easy to contradict. The shape of the flower really pops from the background and that's excellent for this challenge.

What I don't like: the vase. I think this picture would be more effective if the flower by itself was presented as the contrast to the background. I say this for two reasons. One: The reflections of the blinds in the vase make it blend into the background when you want it to pop -- and i totally know that it's very hard to shoot really shiny objects like that. Two: the vase is too vertical, again making it blend into the background too much. The wavy top helps, but again I think the flowerhead alone would have more impact. A bit more lighting on the flower would also help clear up a little of the darkness -- not too much, but just a tiny bit more detail.

Overall, excellent. A photo to be proud of.

doesnt look in focus to me, and the colours are a bit washed out. try darkening it and boosting the contrast.

Nice idea. it suffers a bit from perspective distortion tho, and the screen looks like it has smudges on, which could have been cleared off
