Wow, this is really fabulous. The colors here are brilliant and vivid. It feels dreamy and ethereal with the background, the side/backlighting, and the soft focus (Photoshop filter? The leaf inside the glass is sharp, but the glass just below it is blurry, almost looks touched up).
Except for the patchy spot right where the stem meets the bowl and to the left a bit, this is perfect, but once noticed, the smear is very distracting. 9 anyway because it's great
This fits the challenge very well, I like it, top 20 at least IMO. It would be even better if the three light spots in the background at the top wouldn't be there.
