great colors, but I think the horizontal bars are more of a distraction then a complement to the image. I'd like to see it tried with the blinds raised, to get pure light unfiltered. -8
Shooting from the same vertical angle as the striped light has negated a real possibility of ehhancing the sense of shape, of three dimensions here: given the background straight lines, some sense of curve might have really been useful across the petals of the flower. The texture is good, and the tonality, and the grey backing especially effective to set off those tones ... but it cries out of missed opportunity to me.
