This is an excellent piece of art. Love the color combination. Well thought composition and placement of the pearls. The vase and the bud are beautiful. Like the background, too. Thanks.

Hi MW. I never known still life images to look so lovely. The colors are enchanting. The center of the one pedal looks like pearl, matching the three on the table. Nice lighting and composition. Thanks for the view!

The constant color contrastic againt the next.
The texture on the object in the bottem left corner convey's a 3d form out of the flurry of colors. My eyes move around this image freely.

great job!

Beautiful use of colors and reflections. Excellent use of lights and darks. I love this picture. The flower with its graceful lines of colors and the reflections in the vase. The background works well with the subject. Excellent work.

This image is really beautiful. I don't know how you did it, you don't say, (I like mystery) but it's simply gorgeous. I love the effects in the water, in the vase and the pearls. The background compliments it all so well. This really stands out. Wonderful colors. I can't say enough. You deserve my last 6 star. Well done...Natalie

Comment from wrhosie935
What a terrific creation. I like the mysterious feeling cast by the colors in the flower. The background rendering is even more fuel on the fire. And the pearls on the ground top it off. Great one.
