I bought a boquet at the market on Saturday, with hopes I could use them for this challenge. I'm not very good at "arranging" things, though. This is my best shot at it. Had a good time playing with my flash and triggers - for the most part the flash is diffused (plastic gizmo) and bounced (white poster board).
Gotta learn to work with flash some day, right?

Beautiful colors and arrangement, Deb! I gave it a 7 and I usually hate flowers, so it's color and beauty clearly overpowered my biased hatred of all things floral. :D
All three shots are very nice. For me, a bit more DOF on the vase (to get the vase in focus as well, since it is the major object in the shot) would have been better. IMO you've run into a bit of issue when arranging the shots. The wood grain surface used in all three shots appears very differently from panel to panel. In addition, it makes a stark horizontal that doesn't align from top left to right panel. Then, there is the differences in lighting on all three images that form stark contrasts between the panels that do not seem to perform any function. To me, it looks like an oversight, rather than a planned transition. Very nice colors, pleasing subjects. 6
