I would like to thank all of you who voted on my image. I had a lot of fun on this challenge.
This is a very tough group of extremely talented photographers. Thanks for all who entered and gave me even more inspiration to improve myself.
Keep up the awesome work everyone.
Dale

Meets Challenge: 3 of 3.
Technical: 2 of 3. No offense to the model, honestly, but the lack of focus on her (?) back, and around the end almost makes the picture look like flowers on a bell pepper. It's a bit distracting. I *know* it's a person (and lovely one, I'm sure)... but my brain keeps saying "it's a bell pepper". Otherwise... very good composition and lighting. The reflections/ghosts of the flowers on her skin is excellent.
Emotion: 3 of 3. Knowing full well she's not a bell pepper, though, it's a very innocent and yet sensual photo.
Awe: 0 of 1.

The flowers are bright enough that they detract from the full image. It took me a moment to realize that they were laying on a body.....or is it a body (reflection).

good luck

The flowers seem to be a bit blown out, and the rest is really pixelated.
