The composition here is pretty strong and I like the effect of the shallow dof and except for that brigt spot on the vase the lighting is very good. However there seems to be a strong blue (cold) color cast over the image. A coldness that I would not expect from such flowers. Cure for the blues (at first I didn't notice the title)?
For me the cure was a grey point sample curve on the background. It resulted in this:

My main interest: I love it how the flowers stand out dof-wise and the composition with such a classic simple but pretty vase. I hope you do well.
Great colors and a beautiful subject for this challenge. I like shallow DOF shots to emphasize the subject, but I think this particular shot would actually look better with everything in focus. Regardless, the shot came out great and looks absolutely beautiful. Very nice job!
love the shallow depth. lighting is almost perfect as well you maybe could have used a diffuser to lessen the reflection on the vase, but other than that it's fab. better perspective than most of the flower shots as well.
Nice image. I like the soft focus on the vase and the color of the background. Very pleasing to look at. Everything about this draws my eye to your focal point the flowers. Nice job of showcasing your image.
