IMHO this should have been in the top three of this challenge. Great quality. The lamp on the left probably distracted voters. I hope the soft focus version of this shot does better.

Very well done still life. It doesn't really say "scents and aromas" to me--I do see your intention with the scented paper though.

pretty picture but does not evoke scent or aroma to me

this is an original and fun response to the challenge. For me, the lamp(?) on the left is overwhelming and too heavy for the rest of the image.

Nice lightning. The object on the left top is disturbing.

I'm thinking that you could have done away with the lampshade and the bit of the base of the lamp at the bottom corner on this. The perfume bottle, which is a real interesting look piece could have been given better placement as well. Good overall shot.

What a beautiful set up, so perfect and I almost missed the bottle on the left and the topper towards the right. The shade in the upper left is a bit distracting but otherwise a perfect shot. A 9

Interesting approach. Not convinced the near-ground lamp bowl adds a hell of a lot. There's tonality and texture in the shot - but aroma? I don't know. But then I haven't ever seen a shot that reminded me of a smell yet.

Very nice still life. I am mixed about the inclusion of the lamp at the upper left though.

A beautiful collection of objects, high class, nicely arranged. Suggesting a subtle smell of perfume on paper. Nice soft light as well. I am not so sure about the desk lamp on the left, it adds depth but also is disturbing. I think I would have chosen an view more from the right, but then it might be difficult to include the full lenght of the feather.

hate the object intruding on the left, love the photograph, maybe a little darker would have added to the "old" feel.

Awesome apart from the lamp infringing from the left.

Great set-up and shot, except the lamp? on left which throws my eye off where it should be.

Nice composition {would of left the light out on the left or shot more of it}. The lighting is nice and makes this shot. Good interesting shot.

Beautiful shot, but I don't get where the scent comes into this..

Too kitschy to my taste, but OK. Interesting suggesting pinkish tone eveywhere!

Beautiful pic. Great composition, good lighting. This really works well.

Beautiful shot, feel bad to not score it the very highest mark...but just needs to convey the sense of aroma a little more.

This is a great picture. The object top left is a bit distracting though.
