Outstanding floral image, Gigi. Fine combination of form, color, whimsy, and animation. Terrific prespective to get the flowers and stems against the light bg. devil

A superbly artistic composition, Gigi.  The curled flower stems add a wonderful touch to this and your lighting gives it a very painterly look.

Majestic blooms standing tall.  Really like the repeating patterns.  A completely different take, presented beautifully.  Well done.

Gigi, such a stylized and jaunty image! The flowers and stems look as if they were strutting mightily against a brisk wind. My one small nit is the strong pull of the dark shadow at the bottom of the image. A crop to about 8.5 x 11 would take a good chunk of it and leave the rest as an accent rather than an eye magnet.devil

Gigi: Great job to isolate these against the BG. I also like the implied motion. Most excellent.>=))>
