Another fine take on the BoP leaves, Bill. The leaves are almost as colorful as the blooms. The cyan/blue at the bottom is pretty pronounced, but well within artistic license, and I like the way it contrasts with the orange. Between the colors and the curving lines, it's an excellent floral image. I like the comp and h x w ratio, but the lighter areas in the ULC are a bit of a distraction, and I think you could crop some off the top (and maybe also employ a little judicious cloning) to reduce that distraction without compromising the comp.

I mostl agree with Scott, but you would have to be better than me to undertake any cloning in the ULC. Actually, I pretty much like this as is, even the annoying s-shaped droplet!

Both the photos of the same subject are splendid. The previous one has also a beautiful design in the composition.
