Beautiful traditional flora. The grapes are a different twist. I like the grapes, more lilacs also might have been an option, and probably would have been my choice, or a basin and pitcher combination with the draped fabric. An excellent edit, and very pleasing result.

The Lilacs are absolutely gorgeous! I would love to see it without the grapes, but overall, great color and composition.

8 - Very nice. The only two real nit-picks I have are, would like to have seen more grapes to balance out that wonderful bunch of lilacs and an adjustment of the fabric and/or crop at the bottom near to the folds in it. Maybe a little tweaking in the colorings to give it a little more depth/something, not sure. Certainly the lilacs are beautifully displayed here in this old style cream colored jug and the soft focus works well with them (could have even gone softer and it would still transmit well, in my opinion).

Possibly the best still life in this challenge. Expertly composed and lit. Soft to maximum effect. A nine for you.

Nice still life, I think the soft focus really added to the quality of the image.

I think the crop is too tight. Other than that it's a good photo

nice still life, not sure if I like the crop on the lilacs, but it seems to work here

I think this loses a little impact by the tightness of the crop. But is a lovely composition that reminds me of paintings by the old masters.
