 For this challenge, I thought to use flowers but I found that it was a little too common. So I had the idea of turning a flowerpot in mini aquarium. I play with light to intensify the silhouette of the flowers and the fish.

I hope you enjoy this composition. Your comments are always welcome which contributes to achieving my goal to create a little Wow in my compositions

Greetings from the Critique Club!

So we meet again, Mr Marcel...and yes, it is a nice silhouette, but I honestly missed seeing the fish altogether in voting. I only just saw it now because the flowers are very dominant, and they overwhelm the poor little fish! And visually it looks like the fish has been run through by the flower stem. And, the way the fish's body is blocking the stem, it also stops the eye from continuing down the stem to the bottom. I can see where you wanted to go with this, and I applaud you for it, but sometimes it's best to just simplify - either the flowers or the fish, but not both.

Hope this helps

Susan

Perfect example of what a silhouette should be but just a bit uninteresting as a photograph for me.
