Floral Still Life

How I did it

This image is a still life foral holiday decoration I shot in a hotel lobby. I
made minor adjustments in the color tones and added  a black base and green
background to help the decoration stand out more.

COMMENTS:
 
Richard Pease I like the floral arrangement, but the green background is a bit distracting to me. I would have chosen a bit more muted background in order to make the focus the flowers.

Judy Merson Lovely still life. I like the green background which complements the red poinsettia leaves. I think the red is a little too saturated and the leaves have lost some detail.
Dorinda Wills To me, the interesting part of this photo is how you changed the background and foreground, as I have not yet learned how to do that successfully.  Unfortunately, the arrangement seems oversaturated to me.
Fritz Grupe I like the altered background. Cutting the green short of the bottom creates a good contrast. The flowers and berries appear to be either too bright or out of focus so detail is lost.
