A wonderfully stunning entry for the contest. Your after photo work is so well done. The surreal look and feel of the flowers are very effective in capturing the eye and encouraging us scan the entire scene. The rendering in black and white adds much drama to the scene. Best of fortune in the contest. This should do very well ~ Steve

This is just beautiful! It looks like a painting instead of a photograph. It is just stunning. The textures in the background emphasize the natural veins of the flowers. I doubt I could afford this picture, but it is something I would hang on my wall with pride.

Aptly captured for the contest theme...
An interesting initial impact.

It certainly is an interesting image,my friend!
And you're 'right on target' describing it as looking "dreamy"!
The surreal look it has makes it a very enjoyable scene to view!

WOW what a amazing piece. the lighting and the detailing is so amazing in this one. I love the shadows through out this image, and the frame work is out standing. Great work well done.

Comment from Sange
Stunning!
I am sure these are beautiful in pink, buy the black and white conversion make these Majestic. White is symbolic of Peace, Purity, stillness and oneness. Your focus, placement within the frame and filter enhancements make this so breathtakingly beautiful.
But, it is your lighting that makes this so special showing the petals allowing them to sparkle and shine like velvet made with diamond dust.
Outstanding work both behind your lens as well as in the digital darkroom.
Pretty, classy and oh so loverly.
Good Luck! ;)
