These are three ceramic fruitplates. Handpainted with shiny red metallic and black. because they are handpainted it's a bit hard to get them alligned properly. I wasn't happy with the red color, so I tweaked the hue butten all the way to get this blue color.

PP:
perspective
crop
clone out damages of the ceramic
duplicate layer
noiseware on 2nd layer
erase centre of flower on 2nd layer
1st layer tweak hue
2nd layer tweak hue
2nd layer selective color tweak pink
2nd layer cloned the upper line of blue a little to the right, it didn't align nicely
1st layer sharpen
flatten image
sharpen edges
save for web.

I am the person who gave this entry a 10. I believe the image is well constructed, interesting, has great artistic qualities and fits the challenge criteria well. It also really looks great!
I do not understand the results of the challenge?

It's not especially sharp, but it's very creative.

Cool! I like the plates used as frames and the contrasting color of the flower. Nice composition and lighting. Good luck in the challenge.

i love the composition on this - the colors of the centre item really complement the rest of the image - i would image that you are unfortunately being hit by the DNMC crowd but I personally think this is outstanding 8
