Nice frame of this shooting star. Like the vertical framing and the way the star is off centered. Background is very nice.

[Jonathan Ashton]

Very nice indeed, lovey composition, did you apply Nik to all the image or selectively? - The greens look a little heavy to me. The rear flower head is just a little distracting, I guess it was not amenable to being persuaded to lean the other way a little(?)

Hi Jonathan, I think I turned up saturation by 1 notch in in DPP4. that probably caused the greens to be heavy. I applied Nik to only flower head. I thought about moving the background bud away, but the stalks are fragile and I was afraid it would break off. The flowers come in bunches, so I was lucky to find one that was isolated.

I have never seen the flower, but the whites look a little grey for me.

I like the composition. I would dodge the whites a little.
