Very interesting, the light is a bit overpowering in some flowers

Nice, again. Again, over exposed, or rather turn down the contrast some. the centers of the flowers are too hot and lacking detail. Beautiful forms and placement. 7

Original. The stark contrast between the luminous-looking flowers and the pitch black background is bold and artistic. Some people will probably say "the lilies are overexposed!" but I think it's the perfect exposure to get the luminous effect, if that's what you're going for.

love the simplicity, the gray leaf in the bottom left is a little distracting
