Woo hoo - how the hell are you?? I was running through my list of favs the other day and thought "I wonder what ever happened to Rae-Ann?" Good to see you back!
I like the backlighting here, but there seems to be a graininess to this that does not come off to me well. To be honest, I'm not a big flower fan and a flower shot really needs to stand out to get that high vote from me.
The subject has the feeling of being upside down. A slight halo effect which could be the result of over sharpening in an attempt to help the image. The soft focus in the wrong areas work against this being as good as it could have been.
