Charles: Another intriguing find and comp. I do wish the BG OOF flower was just a touch darker. I like its presence but it is just a mite too bright for the rest of the BG. The exposure and DOF on the main subjects are brilliant. >=))>

I saw it as kind of a mirror image.

Mirror image was my first thought too, and a nicely done mirror image at that. I like the angle you chose here on the subjects . . . very nice composition.

Nice one Charles ...could you have reduced some space in the bottom right and made this one bit more centered ...well thats a personal thing ..

Well done ..

Interesting Charles. I like the image. In this case for my tastes, I think I would prefer the image without the echo. I like the subject stalk very much.

For my taste, this photo is beautiful, Charles. The nice little flowers float in its environment, enhanced by a splendid background, perfectly softened, with a great light. Very stark contrast between the cold colors of the flowers and the very warm tonalities in the BG. I love it.
Cheers.
