An excellent eye for picking backgrounds, John.  I love the way it mimics the colors of the subject.  Your eye for composition is also excellent and I particularly like the way the top of the arrangement steps down from left to right.  Did you have this in water?  It looks like there's a tiny slice of reflection at the bottom of the image.

The bottom  bit is a quirk of CZM It puts a replicated slice down the edges which I usually crop off. I missed this one !

Other than a few hot spots needing taming, a pretty darn good floral image! Although—speaking of the background, my feeling is that it is too much variation. I could wish for a simpler, more subdued BG.
