Nice composition. The black background really shows off the flowers and the foliage at the bottom makes a good anchor.

I like how you caught the flowers mirroring each other. Just the right amount of green on the bottom too! Loverly :jump:

I like the pair of blooms floating against the blackness with the touch of green leaves anchoring the bottom.

A really fine comp. I might wish for a little more dof, but this still works very well as is.

Well composed, Floyd. The white seems to be right on. I'm wondering if you exposure
compensated for that. Sharp with good detail in the flower and leaf foliage..
