Post Challenge: Thanks for the votes and comments.

Here's how I came up with the composition... I was frustrated after trying to setup the callas. They were hard to work with (rubberlike) and would not behave. So I tossed them down on the table a few times and took shots. There is a cropped out 4th calla.

Glad to see you stuck around. Love the composition on this very much, especially the forms you caught....makes it very interesting. Congrats on a great finish...you certainly beat me by quite a bit. And you're right about arranging them....I usually resort to twist tying the stalks together out of the frame ;)!

I really like the lighting and composition of this shot. The colors look great against the black background. Focus looks good as well.

Such simplicity. Such delicacy. Such balance. Three reason are enough for a 10.

Beautiful callas, well photographed (although the image is a bit dark IMO). What I'm not so sure of is the concept. The placement of the flowers seems so artificial, and without any apparent purpose. (6)

Looking at it again :)

The light on the flowers is really quite beautiful, especially the two laying down flowers. Now I'm thinking "tic-tac-toe". These things are really hard to photograph. I better quit while I'm behind.

These are a favorite in the art world and this is a nice use of them. I like the composition you've chosen and the black background -it has the feeling of an calligraphic letter.
