OK, so why didn't this do great?

Well, the color choices are nice. The lighting is good.

The sort of detached haphazard placement and distance from the camera doesn't really add.

There is what appears to be jpeg artifacting.

As someone else said, it's a subject that was done by many.

For me, I think the main thing is that there is nothing really 'happening' in the pic. It tells no 'story', and it's not objects that are interesting enough just to be 'on view' (ie like a ming vase). I like to try to either use ibjects that are interesting looking on their own or create some kind of theme.

The lighting is too bright and makes the photo very flat. Looks like an ad from the FTD catalog. The color is ok. I don't like the tables or panels that the vase rests on. They are not a healthy addition to the pic.

I don't particularly like the green mats under the pot. The colour of the table goes really well with the arrangement - it seems a pity to have something dividing them.

Composition: Might have tried lowering the camera so the pic did not contain any table/mats. I like the inclusion of the pot though, rather than just the flowers themselves.
Technical: The flowers look nice and vibrant but some of the leaves near the bottom are qutie dark meaning they don't have a lot of clarity.
Overall impression: Very nearly a good pic, but lacking slightly on the above. 6

Nice floral still life. Nice piece of art work. Not real happy with the place mats it's sitting on. Wold have looked nice on the table cloth, especially since it goes so well with the top let corner. Beautiful arrangement. My sinuses can't take the ecucolyptis. The background is different, but I like it. Nice one.
