A interesting collection...... pleasant natural lighting. Repeating dried hydrangea specimens placed on dark walnut.. enjoyable.

Nice textures and shapes...composition is lacking interest. Would have been better with one or two leaves instead of this many.

Meets the challenge. But doesn't grab the attention. Good Photo.

not sure about the wood background...would black have been better?

Interesting choice of subject! I think this image might have been better with a tighter crop -- maybe a closeup one of the clusters in its entirety with maybe parts of a couple/few others. The wood table is also a bit distracting with its lines -- I find a plain black t-shirt or a length of dark or white fabric helpful in situations like this. :) This is a nice effort.

I really like natural shapes...this was very well composed. There may have been dust on the lens or the table. Do you see it? Still giving you an 8.

Nifty arrangement. The arrangement led my eye to the veination of the leaves. And that caused me to look again & longer which let me see the scratch on the desk as well as some white spots. -There are many good things about this photo.
