Well, it makes me wish I had a bigger monitor and a faster computer, but other than that, what do you think? Were you wanting the glass to be tilted? I like the light on the cork, but the streak of light that goes out from it seems like a hot spot, that pulls the eye to it. If it were me, I would have had the glass straight, with the rose in focus next to it. I like the cork, but not the light steak, and I wonder what bubbles in the glass instead of lens flare would have looked like. Nice idea and post happy Valentines Day.

That ain't no champagne flute. Good technique, but maybe try repositioning the rose so its better in the zone of focus. And get the correct glass. :)

I like the light on the cork, but the streak of light that goes out from it seems like a hot spot, that pulls the eye to it. I think the relection of the leaves in the glass tend to make it too busy. The theme seems to be simple elegance, so the less cluttered the better. Nice idea. Hope that helps and it's just my opinion. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
