Thanks for the votes everyone, I really didn't expect it to do that well!

This was my first try at setting up lighting and doing a "photo shoot" with a subject, I thought it turned out pretty good. The background might seem a little grainy because it's actually a couch and it's got some texture to it.

I feel the top is missing. perhaps a different angle would've made me think otherwise.
it's a little too grainy too on the reds
But overall a very pretty photo
6 - Like this. Nice and simple. Good use of colors. Sharper/more definition in the 'bamboo' and a variation in composition and possibly also framing, may have given this a little extra in my opinion.
