I may be giving you more than you are looking for, but I'll comment about this image as well. Now that I know and can see the pebbles (stones) they don't bother me. The white near door frame and dark background bit of wall do detract, however. The wonderfully shaped jug against the complimentary wall (as placed on the stand) and nothing else, seems to me worth trying. How about moving the set up to the left to get rid of the "peek-o-boo" green thing?
