Judith - Excellent color harmony (pink and purple work beautifully against the muted backdrop), no technical flaws (no clipping, no harsh shadows, no obvious distractions), clean execution. The light is soft and even but it's not dramatic. For still life, side-light or directional light often adds dimensionality and shadow play. Overall, this is a lovely image but the fallen flower at the base competes with the vase rather than enhancing it - still a beautiful image, but I think it would present better with a central focal point.

Can we call it a 'High Key' photo? Nice still life shot. Contrasting colours.   Posted: 10/09/2025 06:15:26

I have no problem with the lighting. It is more like a painting and an exceptionaly good one! I love the quiet pastel feel. Would I change anything? I think top and bottom are a bit tight so I would add more space.   Posted: 10/09/2025 20:44:48

You are so good at finding and arranging flowers. Everything is tack sharp and well exposed. The lighting doesn't bother me. You could have more top and bottom space if your border was smaller. I know that you like to add a single flower at the bottom, but I am not sure that I like it. It makes my eye bounce between the flowers at the top and the one on the bottom.   Posted: 10/21/2025 15:16:29
