Here's how I came up with the composition... I was frustrated after trying to setup the callas. They were hard to work with (rubberlike) and would not behave. So I tossed them down on the table a few times and took shots. There is a cropped out 4th calla.

Glad to see you stuck around. Love the composition on this very much, especially the forms you caught....makes it very interesting. Congrats on a great finish...you certainly beat me by quite a bit. And you're right about arranging them....I usually resort to twist tying the stalks together out of the frame ;)!
Beautiful callas, well photographed (although the image is a bit dark IMO). What I'm not so sure of is the concept. The placement of the flowers seems so artificial, and without any apparent purpose. (6)
Looking at it again :)
The light on the flowers is really quite beautiful, especially the two laying down flowers. Now I'm thinking "tic-tac-toe". These things are really hard to photograph. I better quit while I'm behind.
These are a favorite in the art world and this is a nice use of them. I like the composition you've chosen and the black background -it has the feeling of an calligraphic letter.
