Simple yet well executed and great lighting. With that solid black background, this is sure to be a DPC pleaser. Good luck in the challenge.

Your composition works, the color of the flower and the beige of the vase against the pitch black background!

Not bad but lighting and the arrangement is a little too basic, IMO.

Nicely lit. Good composition. It lost points due to the stray bits of dust and the air bubble on the vase.

Simple, well lit subject is very pleasing to look at. The debris on the bg is a shame (attention to detail is rewarded usually).

Very nice. I like the subtle lighting. Too bad it wasn't advanced editing. I wonder if you did a selective color adjustment and brought up the black a bit, if that would have "removed" the specks on the background.
