Hey Jo, I took that course with Sheldon too, he’s super funny
Yeah the idea of blending the vase and the BG work since they have the same value, maybe, if you want to blend them more you could eraser that shadow that separates BG and vase.
I would say you’re moving the viewer from the contrast of the top right of the vase through its corp ending at the grapes down left. I’d say that if you want your focal area only at the grapes you could reduce the contrast of the top vase as well as intensifying the contrast at the grapes and augmenting the details or adding different shapes, that would create contrast and interest in that specific area.
You can get deep information into the focal point in the composition course by Bill perkin. If you feel like.
