SHALLOW FOCUS
Why I like this picture is because it's basically a vase, but by putting something in it, it makes it more creative than it already is.
This Mapplethorpe still life is one that has inspired my own work. You can see some of my still lifes on this website -

-they are color. The image with the purple & yellow is where I most played with shallow focus - notice how the lemons are very soft in terms of focus compared to the front purple vase...pick a fave of mine there and let me know which one you like! I have done some b&w too. Seeing this photo here, makes me want to do more - thanks for sharing it. It DOES have a bit of shallow focus, but what really makes it great is the stark b&w contrast of tones. Also, the light spilling across the table and the "line" of the flower as it takes your eye through the "informal balance" composition.
