The Calm

The contrast of textures is excellent. If feels like the vase might get tickled. It's sort of erotic.

The background isn't working for me. I find it too industrial or sterile like a hospital room. There is a shadow in the foreground, which is unexplained and distracting. Also, and I'm nitpicking, I think you could have had a touch more light on the dark side of the cylinder, but I might be wrong about that.
