New guy needs your C&C.

Hello all,
I've posted the original of this photo in the still life thread. This is the photo after playing with it in CS3. Since I am fairly new to all this, I was hoping you folks could let me know what I may have done wrong or could do better in the future, both with the image as well as the editing. Thank you.

Its a nice photo, I think it would look better if there was more in focus.

agreed, I'd like to see the entire water "ring" in focus

Yeah, i agree.
It's a nice capture, exposure and pp looks good but it would benefit from a longer DOF.

The easiest way for you to achieve the deeper DoF (in this case) would be to shoot from a closer distance and a shorter focal length. A focal length of 200mm is just too long.

Hello again,
Thank you all for your comments. I am going to use your suggestions and reshoot the pics. I can't thank you all enough for the help. This forum and the people who contribute are invaluable for a newby such as myself!
Thanks again!!
