I had this image as an idea, and it's come out pretty much as I imagined. Of course it's

not a novel idea, just a variation on a theme that's been presented on PN before, but I

think the effect works quite well. And you? I especially would like to know if you think

this image is well constructed, balanced, aesthetically pleasing... what do you think?

Please let me know. And thanks for your time and energy.

Evening Dave, This is really well done! The rippled reflection leading into the yellow petals is a visual journey of richness and color! I think the flower itself could be just a bit sharper. Over all this is extremely pleasing to view! Well done! Regards, Doug.

Thank you, Doug! I'm really glad you like this. I'm of two minds about the flower. On the one hand I see the lack of sharp, crisp focus, and I think had it been there, it would have given the image a very different quality. On the other hand, while I didn't plan it, the soft focus might lend to a bit of a painterly feel to this image. I kinda like it as it is, partly because it's not razor sharp, and that allows it to have a dreamy feel to it that I like. Who knows? There's no accounting for tastes! Thanks very much for stopping by and commenting... oh, yeah, and for the nice rating, too!
