Comment by CNovack:
I am going to have to assume that the scene is lit by candlelight since there is no candle present in the scene. The vase and the tulips are lit dramtically and they really pop off the black background such that they are visually eyecatching. My only critique is that I see a bit too much ambient white light that may have assisted in illuminating this still life scene. I don't see those warm soft orange/yellow tones/hues so closely tied and assoicated with candlelight scenes. It is those warm tones that could bath this still life in such warm lovely hues that would make it even more appealing. Still tis a good composition with nice flowing lines from the vase to the flowers that is visually appealing.

The lighting, while doing a good job of hiding the background, doesn't do much for the flowers themselves. I'm not an expert on lighting so I don't really have any helpful suggestions, but I think it needs something to add emphasis, maybe having one cluster of flowers brighter or darker than the rest to create a strong focal point to the image.

I like the picture alot. I'm wondering if candle light was used since the yellow cast it would throw seems to be missing. But I will give you the benefit of the doubt.

The lighting seems a little white for candlelight, but I'm not scoring that, I'm assuming it's a given. I really like this shot. 8
