Almost like a bird in flight ant. Interesting settings for sure.

Like it, Ant ! Very imaginative presentation on the high key ground - the ghostly echoes in the background beautifully complement the main flower.

I really like the perspective looking right into the center of the flower and the selective focus. For me I would have preferred not to see the other out of focus flower on the left touching the stem but just coming into the frame as the flower on the left but a minor item. Excellent shot.

This flock of flying violets is a different and original way of presenting these nice little flowers, I love the photo Antonello.
Take care.
