Very interesting subject. I might make a few suggestions: I think there is too much light here, darken it down and increase the contrast. That will give a better idea of what you have here. Also, there is a little more on the right that you need. I know, rule of thirds, but this is a picture of the frame and plants. A sense of place isn't really necessary. Still very clever. Thanks. Cheers, James.

Thanks JR will have a play and see if I can improve with editing - wasn't particularly happy with any I took that day just didn't seem to be able to get exposure and focus right although I adjusted settings in hope to improve - but loved the subjects for ideas.

Nice composition. It represents a good cause and story. Could be a bit more vibrant. Great job overall.

Another cute idea put to use. Like it, nice sunny day, sharp focus and framed. Maybe a bit close on the topside crop, still tells your story well.

What a fun idea! (I think this work is a bit overexposed, however.) the succulents are so varied in color and texture. Good job avoiding people in the shot -- nice!

Comment from Sessybon
What a great idea. I wonder if it would work in a picture frame too? Perhaps the angled easle lends itself for watering and keeping the plants in place. The easle looks like its been stained in a subtle grey/purple color to bring out the color of the succulents. Thank you for sharing.
