Julie, Nicely handled! You've got some great back lighting, composition and I like the detail in the stem. Maybe a tad more room on the left but a minor issue...

I did have a little more on the left but was trying to get it to fit the aspect ratio I wanted and probably chopped a bit more off than I would have liked. Thanks for letting me know I need to go back and readjust!

Jules this is very, very nice! The brightness of the colorness are just right with that wonderful BG. I would put a little more to the left only because I would be thinking of the mat overlapping that little bit, but other than that lovely.

Jules,

This is great. Love the orange yellow colors against the green BG.
How did you get the details on the stem?

Thanks for sharing....
