I think that just one cup along with the buttercup would have been more powerful. 7

The focus on the flower is pretty soft.

Simple design, nicely executed. A little tighter crop and it would probably be a winner. :)

Well done. There does seem to be a blur across the entire picture.

i really like it - the cups are very much there and still not the most important part of the photo, which is definitely the flower. an original twist to the challenge.

nice composition...the small flower seems slightly out of place however even though that main point of the shot.

The cups appear to be stronger than the flower. I like the idea though.

Very sweet, nice composition, softness and clarity. I would only have prefered less heat inside the cups.

Interesting!: you created a pattern with secondary subjects (cups) and added the flower like the main subject... very intelligent! and great picture! ---> 9

oooh, love how you added that little flower. everything in the photo is so perfect and in line then you have this stray flower in there. great

This would make a great print I think. In a perfect world, I would love the top cup to have a complete yellow rim.

great use of diagonal lines and the other rule if thirds (using 3 of any item). Powerful photo.

I like the colors and the picture is well done. Good lighting. However, I feel that there is too much in this picture to meet the challenge. Perhaps one cup/saucer with the flower. 9

I really like the repetition of the subject of the three cups and saucers. I'm not sure if I'm keen on the flower being in there - it might be a concern with scale or maybe color or crispness. Nice, bold colors. 8
