Good idea. I think a little negative space would do this one some good. Its just too tight of a crop for my tastes.

I love the pattern on the wall from the vase. Ideally I think I'd like the rose slightly brighter but then you'd blow out your whites more, which I understand may not work in basic editing. Cool concept.

Nice colours and interesting subject, though the roses don't stand out particularly against the similar coloured background.

I LOVE this! Excellent colors, love the stars in the nubs, the shadow is so very prominent. Great work. To be nitpicky, the lighting is just a bit overblown on either side. But really, the only thing keeping me for giving it a 10 is the proportion. The elongated shadow above the vase gives it an odd vertical dimension to my (newbie) eyes which is unpleasant.

a pity the ornate blue vase had not been exploited to bring out what could have been pretty interesting shadows...
