2014

Debbie and Ricky, thank you for your comments. I agree the line is distracting. I was so focused on getting the flower to sit up in this position and showing the curve and shadow that I wasn't paying enough attention to the rest of the composition. I had to crop out the window sill at the top--wish I would have had a little more background at the top.

Kent - my fav of the three! Because the flower, shape, shadows are all so clean, the horizontal scratch distracts me a bit. It's a minor comment, but thought I'd put my two cents in about it.

I really like how this almost fills the frame and the curve of the stem - the flower almost looks like paper - great composition Kent!
