Gorgeous colors and contrast. Love the idea of the lone flower sitting on the edge. |

An interesting shot but the composition is WAY too busy with so many different colors and patterns. Sometimes less is more. Keeping an image simple and clean in design and composition of elements makes for a much more appealing image. The gold crackle background, the various design patterns in the plates and the two different color flowers stuck on top of one another just makes the eye dance for we have too much color, textures, and patterns here that nothing really stands out. Lighting could be better in that it doesn't seem that everything is illuminated evenly - an overhead light source in addition to the one on the side would evenly illuminate all objects and showcase them more. Lastly the flowers are out of focus while the plate has more detail - focusing on the flowers will make the details of the flower really stand out. |

A green would have set the whole scene off. Nice work. |

A more vivid colour control would have been more of a compliment. I like your angle...but for this challenge I feel it should have been more of a replication. |

I would have preferred this with a different crop. The bottom plate it cut off on the top and bottom. |

This is better than the original. At least this has some texture and more colors. |

lovely plates. I think the background distracts a little from the subject. And the focus on the plates and flowers could be sharper. |

I find the combination of colours and textures remove the key quality that made the ribbon shot so great and that's its pure simplicity. It was all about the composition and the touch of colour. This entry has a lot more distractions and so is visually less striking. Technically very good though with even lighting and good focus |

nice try! you transformed my image into something of a completely own style (didn't even recognize it from the thumb). Main differences are the aspect ratio (mine was square) and the crop (plates cropped at top instead of left) and position of the flower (mine was centered in the image - it was the centered composition challenge!). Good luck! |

Seems a bit lacking in contrast. I like the combination of colors but find the crinkly gold BG distracting. I also wonder if a levels adjustment to make the plate pure white would have been good. 4 |
