Judge Elizabeth Cronin said that Coral Ann "let the flowers and the vessel do the talking and used a few simple blooms to make a massive impact." Cronin praised her interpretation of the painting, the depth of feeling in the work, the overall display, and the consideration of details without overcomplication or overworking.

Elizabeth Cronin, Art in Bloom judge, said that Norris's arrangement was "a simple and impactful interpretation of the piece using only three bloom varieties. Each moment in this piece gave a beautiful nod to the painting, and the connection was clear and unfussy."
