Wow, this really cought my eye. I had to go back and have a better look. I both like the contrasts, but also the toogle between motion and absolute stillness. ... and the shadow. Good job.
Wow! Very interesting. I'd love to know how you did this. I'd prefer not seeing the stem at top but am assuming it's holding the flower up. Maybe you could do a different edit after the challenge is over and share it with us? In any case, that's a minor point.
The flower, the vase, the background and table seem disconnected - which renders it cartoonish (? for lack of a better word). The photo seems more surreal given the floating nature of the flower, the shadow of the vase vs the lighting on the flower. Still a creative idea. I hope you do well. --- 5
conceptually, the best of the show!
there is some room for improvement on lighting and flower-delicacy fronts but i personally wouldnt take any points off for that right now.
