I would have prefer a natural flower but the result is nice !

I like the way the refracted image of the yellow roses is clearer than anything in the picture - most unusual. I also like the warm lighting, and the colour splash with the velvet I feel a touch of texture in the dark area to the right would enhance this shot.

Well done, Hope you do well

This is a great shot and a great idea. The only thing I can see that's wrong with it are the reflections in the glasses. It's a very hard thing to get rid of but you did a pretty good job.

Nice composition, arrangement, colors. DOF to include bottle and single rose would be better. Too bad, as this arrangement has potential.

This is one of my favorites in this challenge. It sets such a nice mood. The illustration of a light refraction is perfect! I'm really hoping this one does well!

A little bit deeper DOF would put this picture over the top. If the bottle were in sharp focus with the glass, but keeping the flowers in the background out of focus, it would give this picture a lot more pop.

Great DOF on everything behind the glass. Unfortunately, the glass and the refracted image appear to be out of focus too.
