The backround is crumpled up yellow plastic wrap. It looks more orange with the lighting. Got to play around with my studio lights. I think I am getting better with them. Honey comb filter light filter from the upper right. Soft box from behind and slightly to the left of the camera.

I was checking out your profile following up on the milestone thread, and realized this was your image. I believe this is a surprisingly low score; I had this image ranked in my top 10 and had given it an 8. I think it's quite lovely, and I admire the unabashed way you celebrate the common textures of the Background and foreground cloths.

Oddly enough I put some daffodils in "Something New", and they did pretty well. But of course mine are in the field, not a still life.

Congrats on your milestone!

Beautiful still life. I'm not sure I like the reddish yellow cast on everything. I think it would be enough just to have yellow flowers.

Simple, yet very eye catching. I like the lighting and the simple background. I wonder how it would have looked with a blue vase to act as a contrast color. I think the colors would have really popped with a blue vase. Well done!

I really like the contrast between the wrinkled background and the smooth cloth (?) that the vase is standing on. Good lighting brings out the texture in the wrinkles. A well composed and well executed shot.

Although I like the texture of the background and color, it took away the contrast for the Daffodils, still a very nice photo..

Love the idea, I would have loved the creased background to have been oof to soften it!

This is quite exquisite in conception. It's a pity the background seems crisper than the daffodils... I love the composition, I love the BG.

Oh, nice! Good colors, nice lighting, good shadows but that backdrop is so distracting with all those wrinkles! A 7

I like the still life. The shadows are nice. I wish the background weren't so wrinkled.
