I actually like the large flower in step 4 and the color in step 7 image better than the final image.

use layer mask to put flowers inside of the pot.That is my only nit pick,beside that very nice work...good luck

Surface of a liquid is parallel to the ground. Thus we could be looking up a hill here, but then I would expect the flowers to seem to be leaning away from us slightly. Plus the pot base doesn't seem to be sitting on anything and the vines don't cast any shadows. [BTW there's a small vine inappropriately overlapping a big vine on the pot's left side.]

nice work ......... gud luck .........
