Oh wow, the reason I joined DPC was so I would get feedback on how I could get better as a photographer (since I am just an amateur). Never thought I would get this many comments about the “string”. Good call of aimeethetoo although she was a bit early in her prediction she was almost right on the money.
So here is the story:
I was walking by this flower arrangement, and my sleeve got caught and pulled one of the petals off. The petal came off but hung on by this “string” (which is part of the flower) for dear life. I never seen this before but I left it there. An hour later the arrangement looked like this. I thought it was too good to pass up as a photo opportunity. So there was no arrangement or artificial strings involved. I wanted to capture it as it was and therefore I did not clone out the “string”.
I thought that the DPC audience would be sophisticated enough to realize that it was not a prop string. I was more worried about the crack in the table and the corner of the table showing, like glad2badad pointed out.
Oh well, the reason I joined was to get comments, and I got some so it is all good. I guess I just have to realize that I am just a sub 6.0 photographer.
Thanks to all!

I'm not sure if that's a piece of fishing line holding the petal off the table, if it is I would've tried to clone it out. Nice colors in the flowers against the background, I like the border too
Cute idea and nearly pulled off. Whatever is holding the falling petal is distracting - I'd have cloned that out. Same with the seam in the middle of the table running under the vase. The flowers themselves are well lit and focused. The horizon line of the table is running off to the right (rotate counter-clockwise about 2 degrees to straighten out). Close, but not quite there (the small details are important). Good luck in the challenge.
Nice idea but the line is still showing and the the falling petals would have much more impact if they were a little higher so they didn't blend into the table.
Interesting composition with these tulips. Love that they are leaning. I dont know if there is or not, but there looks like some type of piece of line attached to th one petal that is falling. If it is might have been better to clone it out. I am not going to account this ni my voting though cause I am not sure exactly whats going on there
So how many comments have you receieved so far about the string? Oo Oo can I guess?...let's see about 20 votes so far so 20 x 1 = about 20 eh? : ) Am I right? Hee hee! Voters seem to love to pounce on stuff like that as if it's something you are unaware of at this point! Lovely shot and a nice idea. Very pretty colors. I think my eyes might prefer about 1.5 inches of the negative space cropped off the left and a less chunky border but a nice flow to the shape of the tulips. 7
