 Thanks for the comments on this picture. I agree with the fact that the leaves detract from the image. I should have submittied the one with the teapot and single white lily.

Awww, most of us have some degree of "shame" about our first entries. Not to worry - you've improved dramatically since this one! :)

What were you going for with the flower and leaves? To my eye, they detract from the subject. Also, the lighting is pretty stark.

Try covering the light with a pillowcase to diffuse it more. That'll bring out the whole surface, instead of having the one bright line and the rest of it pretty dark.

The greenery is a bit of a distraction. Seems a bit out of focus too?

I think the plant detracts from the overall effect.

I like the lighting here and find the plant very distracting.

I think it would have been a better image without the flowers and leaves ... .! It simply distracts from the object and it clashes with the composition of the whole image. I also feel the crop is to tide and there is not enough room for the teapot...
