This balancing act caught my eye and reminded me of a circus high wire act

Nice colors and pose!
I'd personally do some "clean-up" here to remove the stuff hanging from the webs. It serves no purpose and looks kind of "messy".
This might have benefitted from some gentle fill light, to even out the light and colors.

Technically I see some digital artifacts, but artistically I think this is an outstanding composition.

Much better!
Very nice comp and colors, and cleaned up!
(Still a few artifacts and clone? residual around the reddest bud, but much better!)
You're getting better all the time!

Hi Lucy, this is a lovely composition indeed. The IQ on the larger version does not look too good, but without any techs like lens, aperture, ISO, crop etc I cannot tell for sure what caused this.

The processing of the repost is much improved, but some artifacts remain.

Hi Lucy - great image, lovely colors and composition, but technically I agree with the others there's room for improvement - would be good to see your metadata.
