I cut off a bunch of little flowers from the stems and placed them in a bowl with water. That's real 2% milk in the glass. Sunlight was shining in from the windows behind the camera.
Shot in RAW; changed white balance, exposure, brightness.

7 - Certainly different. Like the concept. Good color combinations. Perhaps a variation in angle/perspective may have given this a little extra. Fairly minor, but the lighting & background/base gives this a bit of a slightly 'sterile' type feel overall in my opinion. Difficult, but if the flowers on the spoon were as well focussed, etc as the ones in the bowl, also make this better. Like your title.
