Strong visual composition showing a very creative concept. Love the use of shadows to create depth and give the flower "weight" in the frame. I also like the very light horizontal line moving across the frame. Great job!

Wonderful simple design of the entire image. the framing is excellent and the light and shade in the flower itself is spectacular.
The drop shadow beneath the flower creates a nice depth to the image.

This is a very beautiful composition. It has a very soft, delicate feel to it. Super sharp image with great light and shadows and added texture. Very creative techniques and beautifully presented. Good luck in the contest!

A very pretty composition. The extras you have added around the lily add a lot to the image. Looks great in the black and white. Good focus and clarity.

The Lily is very pretty artistcally. Gorgeous shot. I like all of the values in this photo. I always want more black in a B&W, but that is not necessary here. The rays of light going through it are great. Very nicely done. Good luck in the contest.

This is surely a fine work of art. The petals are so crisp and the stamens and its fine details are very defined. I love the black lines, that is a nice addition and accent. Excellent presentation and artistic framing. Well captured and a pleasure to view.

A very stunning mixed media offering you have here. Well and thoughtfully composed. with excellent visual and initial impact. Great sharp focus and details. Lovely tonal range and tonal graduation. High technical excellence and technique. Lighting and exposure are well controlled. Good story telling ability and center of interest. Enjoyed the view.

Congrats!
