You need no help from me, Gigi. This is fantastic! The layered grays is something I would have probably never seen. Imaginative, and truly artistic. This is a cut above your usual fine work!

Gigi - Pretty stunning and in line with all your superb photos. While I like it as it is, I am thinking what it would look like if you backed off much of the grey color from the petals and moved it closer to white.

Gorgeous, Gigi, I love the shades of gray/white throughout the image, including the bg and border.

Print it and hang it! Your treatment of the whites and shadows to bring out the curls and ridges is super. Well done!
