I like the detail of the dead stem, the texture and twist of the flower and vine and the interesting background. Nice simple picture with no unwanted details. Great color!

Gigi, I would love to see this cropped to a square format with the small flower just above center and to the left. I think the flower would have so much more impact.
Lovely detail on the tree/vine trunk.

Superb composition. Love the simplicity and the solitary flower in a creamy BG. Just so beautiful.

Sorry for being late to the party, but somehow I missed this little gem. It has everything... habitat, texture, color and the lines of the vine, and a nice background. Well done!
