Beautiful colour in this. I like the composition and I really like the background.....there seem to be textures in it which pleases the eye more than just a plain background.

Wow! This is a lovely floral shot. There is some nice, rich blue tones in the backdrop that really allows the pale golds and whites of the flowers to pop visually. I also like that there is some "texture" to the background that adds another dimension to the photo; rather than it being a flat one or two toned backdrop it has some texture to give an additional element of interest for the eye to look upon without it overshadowing the main subject. Rather the colors and the texture compliments your main focus. I was about to say that the DOF could be sharper but if you use a smaller aperture (6.3 or higher) and a ISO of 50-100 you might loose quite a bit of that bokeh effect on your backdrop. Still your main focus, being these two flowers, might benefit with being a bit more sharper in focus. Experimenting with different apertures & shutter speeds would be the way to go to find out which would give you the rich details in the flowers while keeping the shallow DOF to the background.

Ya know, I can't believe this scored so low! I Love it. It's about time someone took the time (and courage) to submit something a little bit 'out there' and not the usual stuff. This is a great image man, you should be proud of it. Its simple, basic, but intriguing because of what seems like a leading line from the bottom left to the top right.

I would boost the blacks a little bit, but that might take something away from it. It reminds me of a game called Rez on the Dreamcast.

Be proud man, this is great. If you were famous it would be much hyped.

I think this looks kinda busy.I'm not liking the red background with the red table runner & then the grey,white & blue striped shirt.I think if you went really simple with this, it would have been way up there for me.
