My first impression is that this is a very nicely set up still life. I like the arrangement of the items and the colors work well together.
The focus seems to me to be a little soft overall. I'm not sure if you were going for a soft look, however, I would love to see very crisp lines throughout. The texture of the flowers is almost lost and i would love it if this could stand out more.
The dark flowers are a little dark to really make out, and therefor don't seem to add to the photo as is. I think maybe a side lighting directed at the purple flowers might have added enough lighting to help bring those out, and maybe the wording on the jar as well?
I really love the colors in this shot. I like that the background has a slight variance in color as well. I like how it goes from light to darker. I think this adds something to the photo. I'm glad it's not all a solid color.
this is very well done. really, the only thing I'd change, like I said is the lighting on the purple flowers and slightly crisper lines. nice job, and scored right where you predicted.

The lighting is great! Would have liked to have seen the whole chair included in this.

I like what you did here. I sell prints at my shop, and the only thing that might make this more marketable would be a different color background. Also your focus needs to be a tad sharper.

The chair not being straight in the frame bothers me. I also feel your shot is closer in than you have it cropped.

This meets the challenge - inanimate and arranged. 6

Shabby - but subtle. Nice.

Nice arrangement. The glass (?) stopper or whatever seems a little out of place - I'm not sure that it is adding anything to the overall impact. A
