Comment by csb:
obligatory flower shot... where exactly is the reflection... figurative, perhaps the subject is "reflecting" upon the flower? In that case, he'd be the subject and should be in focus rather than the flower.

I think I'm missing the "reflection" theme here. I like that the background is out of focus but the man in the back is distracting and the bug on the flower is a little far away. Flower is pretty.

Comment by daysez:
The frower is in sharp focus and you have used depth of field well in this picture, but composition could, in my opinion , be improves by a slight change in camera angle to place the person out of frame. I also do not see any kind of reflection which would meet the challenge theme. rating 3 - daysez

Comment by amonteforte:
IMHO, it gave me a hard time interpreting the reflection theme in this image. As a flower close up photo, although the focus is adequate, the angle is uninteresting, and deviates atention to the backgroud, which itself is unexplainably ocupied by a human figure that is completely out of context, and dead center of the composition.

OK, I know it has been asked, but where is the reflection? Is the entire picture a reflection? It is hard to know. It is a nice shot, but I'm confused.
