I can see where the one flower floating is very much the best part of the picture, and maybe turned the other direction with the teapot behind the cup, and oof....

ah well you still scored well... and I'm proud of you!


Thanks! :-) Yeah, Perhaps I should quit taking pictures an hour before the challenge ends? I'm a horrible procrastinator. When I grow up, I wanna be totally together and get things done early! I should get there somewhere in the next forty years. lol

Very nice idea, I think also a closer shot simply of the teacup with the flower floating in it would've been a good one.

Not sure what it is, but this appears like you put some planning and thought into it. Not sure if it is the overall lighting that is the problem for me, or maybe it's the crop on the right side.

The disruption in the BG is distracting to this otherwise nice shot. The flower on the far right is out of the light and does not appear to belong. I keep thinking that if only this tea set were moved a few inches to the left this shot would be perfect!

Nice set-up the red in the right b/g is a little distracting.

I really enjoy this shot. I think the lone flower in the cup would have been more dramatic. Possible the same light color in the background. Would have felt very delicate and gentile. 8

Good use of the flowers.
A lot of shots were close ups of purple flowers but you have done something different.

I like to see something a bit different. This works well for me.
