Roses and Bamboo

I like the overall design, however I would have picked a more natural container.

Shape is very nice and good design...as said before container takes away the wow factor for me. Well done otherwise

I really like this design, but the container unfortunately grabs the eyes first.

Ineresting use of shape, would like to see either a different container
or keep the container, but use maybe black or green bamboo to bring
it altogether.

I think the strobe flash from your camera has "flatten" the image of your design. Turning off the strobe and illuminating the target at an angle may help.

I actually like the contrast of the container color and the rose color. My problem is with the bamboo.....it doesn't quite work for me. Maybe if it was black or cleaned up a little.

Could the cane have been a darker color? Maybe a dark brown.. not so contrasty? Very nice.

Bamboo a liyttle too light for me..maybe river cane would have made the design "pop" more...interesting concept tho.

You really carried this design concept off well. Perhaps if you would have "gilded" the river cane, it would have brought the shine of the container up. The thick equisetum may have been more pleasing color choice (to match the container) instead of the rivercane. I love the framing of the lirope as well. I can see this design in this container using a few evergreens at Christmas time. Great Job Trish!!

very nice idea, i agree tho about using a different pot. great job
