Looks like you used a fog filter on this one. I know that telltale cast it leaves, because I use one all the time. I think that it could have had a bit more color correction to brighten it a little, and just a slight contrast adjustment. Not enough to take away the soft focus, but enough to give it a bit more zip. I will share with you, though, that generally the folks at dp really tear apart images taken with a fogmaker filter. They honestly don't like them. Even so, you did much better with your score than I did for my soft focus.

I love the green contrasting background with the bright red orange of the flower. I think the dof is just fine. The only thing that might make the image stronger is if the flower is not so centered. Alot of times I will also tilt the camera in such a way that the stem or a leaf is coming in from the corner to lead the eye to the subject of the flower. You really did a great job on the color balance on this one. Got the color nearly perfect for the type of flower it is.

Great job. Nice dof, lighting and sharpness. Comp serves well but could be improved if it were a bit less centered. (Would allow more creativity with text placement.)

good image, but it does not give me an urge for the beer. just shows the glass good. And some of the reflections is a bit disturbing. Also I would like to se the picture straighten a bit.
