Spring Blossom - 2nd attempt

Tried this before with the background almost all black. Don't know

if more background is better or just distracting. Any comments

appreciated. Thanks, Tom

I like the background. I think it works to have that sort of ghostly echo of the flower in the background. The one part that I find a little distracting is the really dark background stem that looks like it's sticking out of the largest petal. I wonder if a slightly different pespective would have helped.

Thanks, Ana. Don't know why when I reduced this for uploaded, the stem became black like that. The print I made shows a nice dark green stem.

the background is ok because it is monochrome and blurred!
