Lots of elements in this picture, not sure that the background adds to the picture. A closeup on the figure or the vase designs might improve this shot.
I think this photo is too cluttered, and not really what I would class as a close up or a macro. Also the focus is a bit soft. Try applying USM after resizing for the challenge.
Seems like the camera has been focused on the background and there's a strange reflection in the vase. Would rather the sculpture's had hadn't been cut off.
