Hi Robin, Of course this is beautifully rendered but there is something unsettling about the composition. I think it is the leaf in the front. It detracts from my ability to focus in on the flowers, which of course I want to do. In part it is because it is a forshortened view of the leaf in front. I want more interest, perhaps in the bottom left side of the composition. Maybe a single flower or a dissection, something to help counter the strong diagonal that is created.
