Colorful...glowing! Nicely done. Maybe just a hair ...teeny bit more light on the stalks. This is blacklight-cool.

Really like the comp here. Agree that there could be a tad bit more light on the stems, but overall it really works for me.

Nicely done. My only nit is the dark line on the left flower. It draws my attention.

Beautiful detail. The composition is very pleasing, and the dark background makes the flowers pop. Stunning.

The vibrant colors make this work Mike. Been thinking about the composition... very orderly, but keep wondering about the effect if the stems interacted or were intertwined in some way... maybe even back to back with the two top curls barely touching. Just a thought on an alternative comp, but not a criticism in any way.
