The background looks a bit dark for this flower but I could be wrong.

But the flower itself, is beautiful. Hope it fairs well in the contest.

Very artistically displayed. Love all the hues of purple.
The glass bowel is a perfect choice to display it. I like the b/g. I would have like to see more detail of the inner layers. Nice details of the outer petals. Good luck in the contest.
