A thoughtful composition here the the front bloom and background echo. The darkish BG is good for showcasing these white flowers. The drops are good plus.

Francesco: Excellent exposure and colors. I like this as is but think I would prefer a camera angle a bit more in front of the flowers so as to give a little less merge between the blooms. Here the middle flower is almost completely obscured. I tend to want to see a bit more of it and the BG bloom as well. >=))>

I like the diagonals created by the stems and the flower blossoms Francesco. The off center presentation works for me too. The bright oof blossom in the bg just above and to the left of the third oof blossom might be better off removed. It does catch my eye and draw it awy from the subjects. But other than that minor nit, a very nice capture. :toast:

Very nice play of light and shadow here and a good diagonal placement. I do agree with Bill and Steve's suggestions though.

I can feel the atmosphere, emotive, a bit mysterious. I love the photo, Francesco..
