You're right on the money Silke! I didn't have such great lighting - it was a combination of the overhead near my easel and a light directed at the setup, somewhat from the right side, but nota t enough of an angle to make interesting shadows.  I'll intensify what i have as you've suggested = too bad the flowers are dead!! There was a bit of shadow coming from that lower right flower - of course late last night when I changed the pot, I left that out!!Thank you for your advice!!

Hi Lori,, for me it is the shadows, that are missing. It is not really clear, where the light comes from. The pumpkins have a little shadow on the left, but maybe too weak. There is acastshadow on the left, but fruit an pot maybe could do with stronger shadows. And the sunflower on the right might throw a shadow on the pot? Only suggestions :-)
