Lovely shot with a very low angle POV.
Love the stormy clouds above but wonder if a bit of curves in PS would set the flowers of even more.

I keep coming back to this, I think the lighting on the white bells is slightly un natural for the angle against such a dark sky, so the frst version for me :confused:
