i am new to the site. Just trying to improve from the basics of my camera. The lighting i used was sun light from a window left of the picture. All i did was crop the picture. Any suggestions to help improve my techniques and skills would be appreciated.

The flowers are nice...but I don't like the background. It might have worked better if the fire was lit and the lights were dimmed to give it a more romantic feel.

The flowers are pretty, but the background is actually distracting and does not frame the flowers very well.

I think the composition would be more effective if you had stood a little to the side so that the roses were off center and not directly in front of the fireplace. Also if the fireplace is a feature in the image, it would "warm up" the romance to have a fire burning.

Red and white roses look gorgeous together! But the image looks rushed though, almost a snapshot. Maybe if you got lower so that we could see the entire vase? Then with the out of focus fireplace in the background, we'd get more of the sense of "romantic".

The fireplace is too distracting - I find that my eye is drawn to it more than your flowers.

All of the flowers are in focus. Where is the SHALLOW DOF?
