I like the idea and the colours. I wonder if the background (and perhaps foreground) could be a touch more out of focus to cement the attention ontot eh main subject.

Nice subject, but the background material is far too busy for my liking. Would have preferred something plainer and rough, like dirty yellow cotton/linen, something like that.

Vibrant, well staged dog nice I can see the embroidery ... nicely done ... only improvement to me would have been if the right side was as sharp as the left.

Great idea except for the busy background.

back ground is too overpowering for the focal point in this image

Loved the detail of the metal on the pot. The background distracts from the main subject. I know it mimics part of the design on the pot, but a more monochrmatic background would have enhanced the pot.

I like the subject and composition, but I think the background is a bit distracting. This might look good in with a black velvet background.

Very Nice.
Nitpicks: The pot gets a bit lost in the background on the right of the pot, and cropping closer on the right might give the pot more attention, but still only nitpicks.

Like the colors on the fabric and the pot. Together, they are a little busy to me. Nice detail in the foreground.

the background is way too busy and detracts from the subject

Interesting old pot, and good for this challenge. I think the background is way too busy and distracts from the object of the shot.

I think a solid background would make the opium pot stand out. But I like this photo...good job!

Shame you chose such a distracting back cloth, the bright colours take the eye away from you subject
