White on white is sooo hard to do. The front left is the neat part of your image. The right is too blown out. Was wondering why you did not crop it out.
It's actually a bright yellow flower that I desaturated 90%ish. I kept the right side, because that's the stem of the flower. Had it not been a Fallen challenge, I probably would have cropped it out.

That is a pretty thought. It's brighter than I would be comfortable with because I am not a big fan of high key images. The bright and high contrast would look great as a print, but it bothers my eyes on a screen. It's not the image, it is just my thoughts. I like the composition.
