Good idea, well-done. I like the translucency of the shadows, and the balance between the lit and shadowed parts of the flower.

Comment by atsxus:
great colors, but I think the horizontal bars are more of a distraction then a complement to the image. I'd like to see it tried with the blinds raised, to get pure light unfiltered. -8

I like the cropping here and the use of natural light

Comment by e301:
Shooting from the same vertical angle as the striped light has negated a real possibility of ehhancing the sense of shape, of three dimensions here: given the background straight lines, some sense of curve might have really been useful across the petals of the flower. The texture is good, and the tonality, and the grey backing especially effective to set off those tones ... but it cries out of missed opportunity to me.

Having the shadows of the blinds means that you are wisely using nature's rising or setting light. It really warms your image. Nice shot!

I like the idea of using window light but I find the miniblind slats to be distracting.
