Still Life Photos

I'm doing Florida indigenous plants in vases on my dining room table and nothing I do to arrange looks right to me. I know this stuff has to be staged, but this is hard to do for me for some reason. Thanks in advance.

The other cones are all red and beautiful, but, I didn't want to take up the airwaves?? with lots of stuff. Pat Oh, it's still the same little point and shoot Canon on Auto

Lovely thing about still life is that you have all the time and space you need. Try making it clean and simple and not too macro, it often works with still life. Move around the table, find the right angle, add some light if needed, choose a simple background, then make a photo. See what you're missing - colors, composition, light, etc - add it, and shoot again and again.
