This would have been a backlighting winner. Great shot.

A good image of a great idea. All in all, the centered composition, with the reflections going all the way to the top, draws the eye up out of the frame. Placing the mirrors so the reflections do not reach the top would have drawn into the frame and kept interest better.

Like LisaCan, there is something else not quite right that I'm having a hard time putting my finger on. It is perhaps the lack of emphasis in the image. A diagonal row of reflections would have produced more impact, but it may have taken from the tranquility that I think you were shooting for.

I absolutely love this. The progression through life toward death is great.

This is a great image. Although it is for the backlight challenge, a bit more light on the center of the flower - just enough to keep it from shifting to black - would have enhanced it. But, I probably don't know what I'm talking about -- after all, it did place 12th. :D Congrats.
