Nice, especially the first. Even in that one, my eye doesn't need to see the partial flowers on the left. See if you like cropping them off, and then maybe crop some off the right to balance the vase with the fine background.

Where's the flower?

Odin, you are alive!

I like the first, and I like the flowers in the BG....maybe clone out the edge of the table?

[AWGD8]

I added the 3rd pic to complete the vase...

Thanks for the input. It`s a bamboo placemat on the BG flower....

While the third is OK too, I still prefer the subtlety of the first. Maybe it's the charm of the background that makes the glass flowers interesting for me.

Second the second....! But get rid if the table edge. #3 is nice but has too much glare in the top left of the vase.

Yes, I intentionally put that colorful background bokeh to give contrast to the plain color of the vase....but the vase gives details (curves and textures) and the bokeh smoothin the rest...Thanks for all the input. Still playing with the new lens...


Is this better than the 3rd?

i prefer the 4th over the 3rd, as it juxtaposes the single glass flower and the background flowers pleasantly, without distractions.

I still like the first.without the bamboo placemat.and its not so much bokeh.as blurred background/

[AWGD8]

I would love to align the vase (sharp image) and the flower Bokeh on top as if the flower is in the vase, but it might look like an " ICE cream on a CONE" :-)
