Very nice, Allen !  A perfect studio shot in my view - a clean bg, a touch of shadow, a pleasing arrangement of flowers and a strong colour combination.  The ever so slightly off-centre composition suits the forward-facing arrangement well.

Beautiful and skillful studio still life. The royal blue teapot is a nice touch, the lighting is restrained and the flowers have good detail and dynamic range.cool

Hi Allen, Nice lighting and exposure, beautiful roses and excellent detail. I would perhaps not include the three purple flowers if it were mine. I'm unsure about the blue color in the color palette. I am not knowledgeable about arrangement of flowers, just my personal taste. I may be wrong. Nice studio shot.

I like this Allen!  The arragement somewhat reflects the shape of the pot, which I find pleasing.  I like the color choices.  The deep red of the roses works well with the royal blue pot.  Good job with the stacking too - excellent detail throughout.
