This is gorgeous! The textured background looks so good and the separation of the blue tones with the white lacy fan is genius. The flower design on the fan match the subject flowers well and the lighting on the flowers is super appealing. I like the way you layered the various blue elements. I think this is beautiful work.

Lovely entry for this contest. Your layered application of the different elements of the image are really beautiful. Really like the oil painting filter application on the flowers. Very creative and a pleasure to view. Thanks for sharing.

Very creative view of the flowers. Overall editing makes it a beautiful picture. Excellent colors and composition, along with nice contrasts. Depth of field works nicely. Good luck in contest.

Yes, given the amount of blue here in your attractive bouquet, it must be a good entry into the competition! Exposure and sharpness are good. Well done and good luck!

A good entry for the contest. Nice touch with the fan. Did you consider a blue fan to go along with the blue theme? I do see some blue in the fan now. Delightful shade of blue. Nice composition. Well framed. Sharp image. Thank you for sharing and best of luck with this image
