Kostas, Very unique framing w/ the liquid tool. The sunflower looks a bit flat and maybe a contrast boost would help. I might also remove the top layer of liquid that is on the bottom petals of the flower. Nice idea!!:)

I agree with Denise. I'd also try to keep the liquify area of the frame from touching that bottom leaf. I do like that the leaf is there - it draws the eye down - but it feels wrong to have it blended in with the liquid area.
