I brought some garden pea blossoms in and placed them in the bottle, and placed that on a piece of slate tile. I then took about 40 shots with varied lighting conditions until I found one I liked!

Oh death! Where is thy sting? This poor blossom gets one last hurrah from you in this lovely photo of its demise. Lighting and composition are simply marvelous. 9

I love the colors and textures in this image. Nice use of lighting and great compostition.

This is very pretty. I like the way the delicate line of the blossoms is balanced by the small upward jut of the table, and the use of negative space to outline the flowers and set them glowing. The careful simplicity of this works really well.

Good focus and contrast. I'm no flower expert, but perhaps you could have found one a little more vibrant and alive. The composition makes me feel like something is missing... a book, whatever, just something other than the shadow to balance the right side of the frame on the table.

Beautiful composition, I love the pure black background. Great textures on the table. The colour combination of vase, flowers, table is very effective here. Just the right amount of reflection from the vase. However, the flowers seem to be lit a bit harshly, and the shadow really detracts for me. 7

your gettin my 8 this week, i really like the way which the picture has been created and the way in which you have got the lighting to produce the shadow of the bottle what lighting technique did you use
