    Hi Grahame, I like how you played with the flowing shape of the flower here, and the drop just adds that tiny bit of interest that grabs attention. I'd be inclined to brighten up the flower a bit, it seems a bit dark now.

    Hi Grahame. The edge of the petal has a very nice flow and the water drop really grabs my eye! The petal edge - where it curves back into the frame on the right across from the water drop - is a little distracting for me. You might consider cropping from the right to eliminate that curve - and thus simplify your image even more. Well seen and captured!

    Calla lilies make great subjects, and this is a cool interpretation. Well-seen graphic abstract!

    I am not the best at pattern pics but I would suggest including a little more of the top of the plant. For me the plain white background does not quite work. i think the water droplet is a good idea but ideally it would have the reflection of something within it.

    I can see wanting to leave room for the water to drop into, but I also want to see more on the top. It feels crowded there.

    I wonder if more contrast in the flower would make it hold up better against the stark BG.
