I love the idea, but find the background very distracting - pitty, that would have been a stunning picture IMO

Taste the Sun

I love your background for this. My first reaction was: Iw ant to be there" :-)The orange juice, or whatever concotion this is ;-), looks oddly solid, perhaps a different light and/or some additional contrast? I keep looking at the "messy" glass and don't know if I would prefer the glass pristine, but overall I like this a lot.

Yellow enough ?

Great composition, lvely lighting, I like the way the bottle is "tehre",but teh main focus is still on the fl;owers. the leaves just balance everything out. I would have just prefered the flowers in focus.

I find the colours a bit muted, but they really work in this image. Very nice. Great lighting

The flowers are beautiful. Love the light on them. Although the background is very much OOF, I still find the different colours a little distracting (for a still life).

Nice, i won't ask who has got the time or patience to build this :-). I think you should have cropped the "line" at the bottom of the imae out (I asume table top), and for this shot, I am not convinced of the DOF you chose. Also the shadows on the pencil on the left are a bit distracting.

Something doesn't work for me. My eye keeps going to the watertable in the vase - clearly not your main focal point ...

Golden Curls

Love this image. Perhaps not quite "yellow"? (didn't take off for that though). I am also not 100% sure I totally agree with your image placemnet. Perhaps the centre a little higher/towards the crner. But I am nitpicking - still love the picture.

Ohhhh Yeahhh :-) ... doing the happy dance :-)

My PB and my first "6" ... yeahhhhhh!!! With a photo I didn't think much of, even if I did spend a lot of time in PP.
And no "1", not even a "2" :-)

Thank you for everyone who commented.
I was actually wondering about the forground "shadows", whether to leave them in or "black them out". In the end I decided on a little of both :-)
