The bouquet should be in focus and the b&g slightly out. Actually now that I look at it more, there was some serious dodging and burning done to try and bring the foreground (bouquet) and background exposures closer together. The b&g were exposed correctly but the bouquet was underexposed. The scene just had too much DR for the exposure to handle. Some slight fill flash on the b&g would have balanced things out. Also, the angle should either be straightened out a little or even exaggerated to give the image more interest. Nice attempt ,but I feel the imagemaker could implement this concept much better the next time.
