This is very interesting, it looks like a Valentine Day card with the words and cupid. I don't see it as a shadow as it is the wrong way so I see it more like matter and anti matter or the spirit of love. Good job.

Lovely composition. this could make a nice cover for a wedding album. I love how you created the background by replicating the image itself and reducing the saturation for it. Super composite.
Color 5, focus and detail 5, saturation and contrast 5, interest 6, composition 6, technical 5.5. thank you so much for sharing this image. Makes me want to play in photoshop now.

Very nice picture. I especially like the tack sharpness. The fact that you conquered digital/white/detail problem so perfectly is impressive. Over all, it's a very nice picture. I can see by your notes that you know your way around photo programs so, in that respect, I can't help wondering if perhaps the second figure at the bottom doesn't distract from the full impact of the pic. Maybe that's just me being dull and uncreative, obviously it's your choice. Very nice.

Beautiful contest entry - a very special flower shot, your eye is handsome as they really form a neat flower, beautiful background choice, the color rage and tones are very harmonious and the way the leaves are coming out is perfectly done - this image has two different realms - the dream and the reality, both in combination created a fantastic effect - love is the perfect word to express the flow of energy and softness of the work , well done, all the best for the contest

Beautiful arrangement of flowers, and nice effects of purple area and faded area; very creative and artistic. Nice focus and presentation.

Very pretty white flowers. I like how you've arranged them with the leaves. The colors are perfect, I love purple with green. The shadow is lovely too. Beautiful image. Good luck in the contest.

You captured the flower grouping very nicely. Each flower is in focus and the background colors work well with the overall composition. Also like the faded group at the bottom right.

This is a beautiful white photo contest entry. A wonderful design with a very nice focus and clarity. Super editing in photoshop with great editing, exposure, and contrast settings. The white flowers showing their nice shapes of the petals really pop with the surrounding colors.
