Love the arching branch. I'd have eliminated the bookends and books between, and just the negative space pull our eye back to the left. Just my opinion though. ;)

I like the way you framed this, although I think I would have preferred this in color, which would better match your title.

Greetings from the Critique Club!

This is a very pleasing shot to look at, those nice deep reds go over well and that teeny bit of green stem is just enough to break up all that red. Yes the teeny bit of glare does detract, but it's Basic editing and everyone knows you can't selectively use any tools, so there is leeway there. You have the basics of simple clean com down here, stick with it. Yes, the lighting does need work (waxed paper over your light souce might help), but there are plenty of ways to get good lighting without breaking the bank. I do think the focus here is more on the vase than the flower; watch your AF.

Overall not a lot to nitpick, good work on making it to the top 20! Keep it up and keep on entering!

Feel free to PM me,

Susan
