Nice lighting and colors. It actually looks like a projection of a flower in the background. Yikes, I just read posthumous' comment - well, I second it then, it does look like a projection! :)

Love the complimentary colors. You could have used this for backlighting. Nice effect. Congrats on the high placement on such a large field.

Nice comment from Don, and I agree that it looks like a projection of the flower - what it wants to be when it grows up, kinda. Gorgeous softness and very nice use of DOF.

I love the angle and the processing. This shot just gives me the feeling of reaching. Nice job Catherine.

that looks like a projection of the flower, like a Man Ray experiment. Maybe not his final shot, but his experiment. 8
