The entire image looks exotic Gus !!! Love the combination of colors, all go real well together Also like the texture and selective focus !!! Composition wise might have worked my way around to separate the white triangle form the flower !!! Really nice !!!!

i love the bg!! colors are awesome. curious about the placement of the flower in the frame. there is a slight tilt of it to the left which would call for it to be placed in the right half of the frame. i think it might have been stronger on the right side to balance it a bit more.

i love your choice on the double exposure settings. there are so many things we can to achieve different effects!! cant wait to do some landscape shots and try it out!!!

Neat image Gus, agree with what the others said.

Great double exposure my friend. I like it as presented. Very original.

This does have an exotic flair, Gus. I agree that more separation would enhance the composition.
