You are the Queen of layers and all things Magical! This is so
Beautiful and the lighting is your usual expertise.
Love the clarity and colors on this flower.
Use of flood filter with rippled reflection is Fantabulous.
Beautifulous work Cara.
Well done :)

Good entry for the contest this,and the post work has made this stand out,normanally not a great fan of slightly wider frames,but think this adds to the shot rather than distract,good luck in the contest...brian

Nice use of techniques. Love the flower, its color, and especially the center. The frame is a super elegant addition. Water reflection, again, a very nice touch along with the light behind the flower. The more I think about this, the better it gets. Superior work.

WOW. Love this image.
Sharpe and has good contrast.
Lighting enhances the petals. The water reflection works very well. Detail in the flower center is very good. I also like the light source peeking out at the right hand top of the petal.

This picture is rich, romantic, a little mysterious. Good impact with the big red flower and reflections. Nice frame and lighting in background.

Comment from soulfeeder
This is just amazing. It looks like an ornament. Sharp and great angle, showing the vivid, details of the purple central part. Petals are crisp and vibrant. High five on artistic presentation and creativity. Well framed and well captured.
