How cool! You and Tom not only finished next to each other, but you both got Paul's "longer look" comments! I didn't realize he'd be doing it for that long, did you? This shot works very well for me - I can visit with it for a long time. Note the commenter average on this one.
When all was said and done, I gave this a nine. Reminded me a bit of my own still life entry from last month's free study. Sorry it didn't score better for you, but it doesn't matter much. Keep doing what you're doing.
OK, I'm going through the Free Study submissions, purposefully finding those images I think are shot with a less conventional eye - this is one of those images! Thanks for offering something that isn't just DPC friendly eye-candy (though of course there's nothing wrong with eye-candy). I'll be picking one of these images for my Mu (most underrated) award:
Positives: Not just your everyday flower shot this one because of course the background is just as, if not more so, important. I wonder where we are? A home or a cafe? Whichever, it doesn't really matter - your image manages to convey a cosy feel; we are very much inside, looking out. The colours are really good too and the flower works really well with the background bokeh.
Critical stuff: Nothing really, I think you've pulled off your intention very well indeed.
Overall: A really interesting image that brings something new to the flower shot.
