The stripes were created by putting masking tape on the patio windows and having the sun shine through. The curves happen because there's a sheet of paper running from the floor up the background.

Would never have thought of the masking tape thing. I love the lines and the simplicity of the single bloom was inspired. I'm drawn to the shadow of the one little leaf.
Nice image - I like the way this communicated two distinct planes so very well and how the image plays with the mind's perception of horizontal and vertical at the back on the scene. I think it could have stood a touch more contrast.
Like the title, I don't think the photograph needs it, the lines are compelling enough for me, even the tones could be richer and brighter, I like image. No message. Just shapes to enjoy.
