I see why this was the winner! I love the choices you made in the red placement. I also appreciate when reality has a little twist to it. Like the whimsical feel to the poinsettia. Thanks for sharing!

This vibrant red poinsettia is well shown against the grey background. Focus and clarity are excellent, showing wonderful detail of the flower. Good luck in the contest.

Comment from Ray Gordon
This image of the poinsettia and its red color, created to float above works so well. You have created a wonderful three dimensional effect, which is your signature. Thank you for sharing your beautiful Poinsettia. If I could use one word to describe this piece it would be beckoning. If I had more stars they would be for you. Ray

This is stunning ! I love your use of selective color here and the pointsettia was the perfect subject!
The red against the grey and black is so dramatic.
This is of course well photographed with spot on focus, this image is sharp and clear and exposure is correct, you have brought out the detail and texture of the pointsettia.
Your use of mixed media transforms this into a lovely work of art!
Very well presented!
