Interesting interpretation of the challenge, I don't think it will go over well due to the lack of an element, but I appreciate your thinking beyond the challenge description. Certainly nature is full of gold!!!

Unfortunately, I feel the composition is lacking a focal point to support your intended subject in my opinion. I'm not crazy about the use of the reflective surface as it resulted in significant ghosting (at least I think that's what happened, I suppose it could be movement and it's just blurry).

I think it may have been interesting to have the flower facing the sun. Your "gold" would have been more prominent rather than in a harsh shadow.

Sorry for the rough cc. 4 Ben

With a faster shutter speed you may be able to avoid the motion blur on the bottom flower. Or you could use a stake and twist-tie if it's windy.

Nice approach, but I find the shadow on the flower distracting. The image also seems about a stop under exposed.

This does not directly convey the elements to me but is an OK image of flowers.

absolutely beautifully shot and lovely composition and colours. Just a bit of a "shoehorn", right? A "mirror challenge" outtake, perhaps? *smile*
