The choice of including the inside frame + was good, but the flowers are very unbalanced in that composition IMHO (So few in the largest area). Maybe there was a way to compose with an overall balance (or maybe not).
I love the contrasts here, even though the flowers are white, as well as the window frame, they still maintain their clarity and don't blend at all. Very beautiful greens. Such detail in a photo with so few colors!!!
i have been thinking about this one for a few minutes...sterile is the only thing that comes to mind...i'm not sure what it is. the muntons (or mullion) i guess look kind of fake. like its an outside shot with the frame held out between the camera and the flowers. maybe i'm bored with flower shots. i dont know.
