Hi Bob, thanks for posting something different! I really like your use of the available light and lovely yellow/green color palette. I was unsure about the curving stem, but the more I look at it the more I like it. It does make a nice framing element and helps to balance the image. Nice job!

Bob,
Agree with Kerry thanks for posting something unique and I really like this picture. The composition is unique and the leading lines on the outside of the flower are cleaver and balances the frame. The soft light and color are super nice thinking leveraging the polarizer to counter the water reflection. The black background compliments the colors and ensures no distracting elements distract the eye - well done!
When I first saw the thumbnail, I wondered about the "brown curve" thing, but as Kerry said, I like it too after looking at it. It adds to the balance and symmetry of the photo. Lovely light as well. Very nice!
Just beautiful, love the colors/light with the very dark background. Very clean.
Thanks for the comments folks!
