A very artistic image. I like the arraignment of the the flowers. and the way they seem to glow.

Nice!
Very artistic - like the arrangement, colours and BG.
Not sure the bottom leaves that intersect the frame add anything - you might experiement with cloning them out.

Love the graphic quality here Bob and the composition. I might try a tighter crop - maybe 4:5. I sort of like the leaves at the bottom but I could see why Sandy might not. I think it depends on whether you're seeing this as verticals and circles or as a matrix with embedded circles. My wife Terri agrees with Sandy. (go figure - smile) I like this very much exactly as posted. Very fine work for my tastes.

Bob:
Beautiful arrangement. Like 5 dancers dancing in unison and the leaves are like limbs. Love the directional lighting here.

Very nicely designed! I love the color and detail and the background really makes the colors pop.

Bob, I also am one for getting rid of the bottom leafs, but love the mirror effect achieved with your composition. Wonderful work.

Bob, I love this ordered, clean, simple and stark structured image.But the best thing is the light, in my opinion. Splendid!
Take care.
