Great lighting and depth of field.

I like the DOF, you might want to watch the lighting next time as the bottom plate the flower stands on blows out and thus draws my eye there and not to the flower.

I like this a lot, I did find the large circular white area at the bottom of the crystal flower to be little over powering though, drawing my eye away from the main focal point.

love the idea but it is blured

I think the large burred stand detracts from this shot. Perhaps try a different perspective, where the in-focus flower was more prominent?

Nice composition but a tad dull on the subject matter.

I think this crystal beauty deserves a wider DOF
