I'm having trouble understanding why this image was "hidden due to content". Who decides these things?

Other than that, nice, crisp definition of the flower, very O'Keefian imagery - I would have preferred a different background.... if you didn't want to distract from the flower, you might have tried a pale color or even a color degradation ...but that's just me. All in all, very well done.

there are only 2 chance, 1) you are an italian user that have pressed a wrong key on the keyboard 2) you are a foreign (for me) user that have confused the conjunction with the verb :) In this second case the exact title is "La vita รจ bella" (yes you can tell:"why, do you think that speak english???????") The image is very good. 8

The curves are very strong, and color contrast between lily and stem are appealing.

a tad too saturated for my taste, especially the greens. nicely composed, light could have been softer. very good sharpness
