Amy, this is wonderfull, still life with motion! The vase was a great choice for this shot and the folds of cloth are only hinted at on my dark monitor - I love it.
How odd! A complete reversal of the expected. You *ought* to have had the flowers sharp and the vase blurring, right? Right...? Instead you give us this... this... weirdness... that, against all expectations, actually works!
Wow! It doesn't get much better than this. The lighting is amazing, love the glow on that wonderful cracked vase, and the flowers have the perfect amount of motion. Love it!
The tone, especially in the vase is awesome. I have spent ages trying to get that exact pale bronze tone, without success. Better spit out the details, Amy J Hopp ... we have ways of making you talk!

This is a pretty still life composition. I like the LB blur. I'd like to see the flowers in a bright bold yellow a la Van Gogh. But this subdued color is nice too. I like the tone.
I have deleted and re-posted the photo, but noticed your comment. I pasted it again here along with the re-worked image. Thanks for your input!
