Image has a painterly feel to it, and I the background puts it over the top for me.
BTW, you can upload the larger image directly to NPN.

Beautiful LOTV, Mark. Masterful use of the light, and the processing is equally masterful.
I spent some time at your website. Incredible images. I'm really looking forward to you become an active participant here at NPN. You obviously have much to share in both your images and your knowledge/talent.

Stunning image, probably the best lily of the valley image I've had the pleasure to view. Simply put... a work of art!
