Interesting image Elisabeth. I really like the left half, but for some reason I'm not connecting with the right side.

I kinda agree with Philip here, Elisabeth but overall I still feel this is a good photo. It has that abstract-ish feel to it. Keep trying those Iris abstracts - I found them to be very tough flowers to make any good ones.

Elisabeth: This works really well for me. I especially like the color palette. I kind of like the movement implied by the right side. Nicely done.>=))>

Beautiful colours. I wish to see the center (bottom) a bit more sharp. Well done Elisabeth.

I'm going to be a little different, the right side is very appealing to me, and I love the colors, overall, this is very nice Elisabeth.

Bold color and an interesting perspective Elisabeth. My one problem is that the right side seems to make the left side feel like I am only seeing half of a bloom - and it is cut off too abruptly.
