 Not sure this worked as well as I hoped it would for communicating balance -- the idea being that the flowers are balanced on the tips of their stems. (I poked nails through the posterboard and used those to hold the flowers up.) Also present, I hope, are balanced composition and color.

Adjusted levels
Cloned a few imperfections in the stems
Slight crop
Unsharp mask

Thanks for all the wonderful comments everyone! I'm really pleased this was so well received. Far and away my highest ranked entry so far!

Congratulations on your high finish. This is a beautiful composition and the fallen flower, well, it speaks of its' balanced sisters.

Congrats on the top ten!
Did you use bits of glue, or is it just me?

I'm guessing there is a wire ran up through the stem, no? Very cool idea!!!

On point, but also on little bits of glue. Nice colors, background is a bit noisy.

An unusual arrangement, driven by the challenge but very effective. Beautifully photographed and the fallen flower is a masterpiece, providing interest and balance. Exqisite lighting and clarity plus balanced colouring.

A flower picture with a difference !
Nicely set up..good lighting and composition and the one flower lying on it`s side is the finishing touch which adds that little bit more to the image.
Superb.
