My grandfather found this bottle washed up on the Atlantic coast about 50 years ago. Someone at his work in the Oak Ridge labs dated it to approx. 1850.

I know that comments should be constructive but I think sometimes it is appropriate to just be appreciative. This is IMO the most beautiful photo in this collection. You have captured the best in color, tone and lighting for both classical still life and modern digital photography. I am very far from expert in photography but I'm quite schooled in the arts and one doesn't often have the opportunity to speak directly to the "artist" to express the inner joy his/her work has brought. 10
There's conflicts in the theme of this. On the one hand, your celebrating the urn with summery flowers, full of passion. On the other, your chocking it with the vines and the darkness that surrounds it. Stick to the fundamentals--theme is half the battle.
I like the composition very much, but think the focus is a little soft and lighting too harsh. I also wish there was better seperation of the subject and background.
