This is an exquisite pic. Beautiful colours, sharp focus of the subject. You seem to have mastered the art of making the mixed media look so very natural!. Well done!

This is a very beautiful flower. The flood filter left a nice effect. I really like the smoke effect. Good creativity and technical skill. Good artist notes. Nicely done. Thanks for sharing.

Very nice composition. I love the detail you were able to keep in the white flower. I like the smokey look coming off the water. I like the black background and the framing.

Annie,
Personally I think your dahlia looks great all on its own. Love the red center and the little lavender tips!
IMO the smoke and liquid distract from what's lovely. ( It kind of looks like someone put out a cigarette in the water under the flower) Perhaps if you wanted to jazz it up you could light up the center with Viveza, a free download with NIK. Check out Color efex pro for some great special effects. Paula

A really great idea. The sharp blossom, the reflection, the smoke all come together to make a great composition.

This is fascinating the way you have done it. I like the close up of the beautiful flower. I like the way you placed it in the picture. I like the way you have the black background. I like the way you have made the smoke. The flood filter works well on this. I like the way you used the black to frame it too. An excellent and creative picture.
