Great shot! Very nice job with the lighting to bring out textures.

I like the textures, but perhaps the pine cone is too centered for my taste.

Comment by Yo_Spiff:
The title almost works, though it seems slightly forced. This is not about titles, though. I like the subtle tones here. A little less centered may have been about the only thing I'd suggest.

Originally posted by shundaroni: Another potentially great shot hindered by poor composition, poor lighting, and no color saturation. Had the whole bottle been in the shot with some soft lighting on the flower, and a little post-processing to enhance saturation, this would have been killer. Why is it being lit from behind? That just screams "rushed shot". Plan this stuff out if you intend to enter it into competitions.

I think before you make wild assumptions about how long it took a person to set up you should take a moment to consider that it is only an assumption and not a fact. The fact is, it took me hours to get everything set up right, just how I wanted it.

I'm pleased with the saturation, the lighting and the shot. The only thing I would have done differently is including the whole vase and taking away the rug.
