Beautiful. Having the light subject on light background is tricky. You accomplished this well. I notice this is sllightly off center. Did you plan this for some reason? I tend to like things "centered and balanced" and so would have tried to move it to the middle if possible.
Hazel, Thankyou for your kind words. I did off-center it on purpose. There is a slight curve to the stem which I put facing into the image. If it were completely straight up-I may have considered a center crop.
