Very nice manipulation. The foreground/background balance is very interesting. The sharpness and color intensity make a really striking picture.

So beautiful. Love the artistic background and presentation. Great angle showing various contrasting colors. Those smoky background added more depth to this composition. Excellent framing placement, angle, lighting, focus and technnical skills. A pleasure to view, Well captured.

Your flower photography and elegant layering are the Best.
You take a simple flower and make it look graceful and majestic.
In love the red and the soft mirror like blur in the background.
Lovely Work Cara!

What a nice shot. The application of the post effects is so lovely. The layers of the scene was excellently applied. The lighting and the ghost shadow image is a very elegant effect. The colors are alive and so sharp. Great creativity and talent have come together here very nicely.

Excellent presentation with a wonderful initial impact

Your lily shot is pin sharp , taken from a nice angle and position,

The shift to this wonderful piece once again shows your artistic skills to combine photographs with a digital enhancement that lets the single flower stand out in all its splendor - fantastic color saturation, contrast and light effects - the soft shades as reflection create the softness of this image ,

Your frame is well chosen -so the use of space , A very beautiful work as always the love radiates and lets your work shine , thanks for sharing

This is absolutely beautiful and what is also fascinating is that is feels like a painting. Your composition is truly lovely and the dark background with the middle ground softly reflecting light outward is breathtaking. I love this.

What a lovely presentation of a canna. Good creativity. Nice capture of the natural beauty. The yellow throat contrast nicely with the red. The b/g effect looks as if you reflected it in mirrors.
Framed well.
