For me, the focus on this one just doesn't work. I like the way the walls and ceiling and corners contribute overall, but I want the vase, holder, and plant all to be in focus. I also would like to see those two branches coming in from the left removed.
The field of focus peters out just up where things start to get interesting. This would be a tough shot to make work, as the texture of the ceiling is going to compete with the foliage no matter what you do.
Love the vase! Shame the top of the flower is cut off, and there are the other leaves poking into the picture on the left. For a non-challenge (where you can't do it) I would edit those out.
Might be a little flat. The focus seems like it should be more on the leaves at the top. I like the composition though, but I'm not convined that sepia was the best choice, I'd like to see it in color
This shot looked much better from the thumbnai perspective... There are some definite focus issues on the plant branches. Achieving good depth of field is hard sometimes but it's worth the effort on a shot like this. I don't know what kind of camera you use, but a shot like this could have easily been made from a tripod with a smaller aperture to achieve full focus on this shot. If your camera doesn't allow this, you may wish to consider evaluating your subjects and working exclusively within the range of your camera's capabilities. Try this same shot again and move back from the wall about 18" and see if th focus doesn't improve some :)
Beautiful :). The curvy lines of the fixture on the wall draw the eye up to the flowers which burst out in all directions in a really dynamic way. My only criticism is that it seems a little bit blurry.
I dont know if the colour cast on this photograph was intentional, but I find it takes away from the image. Really nice strong and vibrant colours would have added another dimension to this one.
Looks like B&W mode on the G2. B&W here would probably have been done better by taking a color shot and converting in an image editing program after the fact.
