Love it Shawn, but then I always enjoy your still lifes. The blue curtains and the light set the mood for a gorgeous bouquet. Perfect for the challenge, I hope Tom keeps it up and running. Shirley

Thank you so much, Shirley. I think these challenges have really been fun. Jodie came up with a super idea starting it. It has also helped me to be able to review more on the photo side, which I rarely do because I know diddly about photography, and about the only thing I know to say is, "Wow, I really love your photo!" And then after that, it's like, "How are you? I am fine." LOL. Again, thank you for the great review on this :)

Beautiful piece of art with good initial impact and nice color harmony.

This looks like a flower arrangement in church.

Thanks for sharing and I enjoyed it.

What a beautiful vase of flowers you created here. One would just love to be able to have that exact vase in one's house and I can almost smell the beautiful scent of them. The sparkling blue background is perfect especially with that white candle. A really lovely picture here and good luck in the contest.

Very nice composition. It includes those things that a mom is, she feeds her family, she is a light to them, she teaches them and we can see the beauty of the world through their eyes. The blue background is a perfect contrast to the other elements.
