 this was a tough one. Everything I thought of, I could 'relate' in some way. Not sure how this will go over, but I think I learned some things playing around with the lighting, so all is not lost.
PP - didn't do a lot on this one. I adjusted a little bit in raw essentials to get the black darker, then in PS, I adjusted the curves, cropped and sharpened, and burned the black a bit, and cloned out some scratches in the piece of plastic I used to create the reflection. I'd like to clone the souble edge on the reflection, but somebody else got dq'd for that a while back, so I guess I'll leave it.

Beautiful colors and shadow. Perhaps a bit less cropped off top would make for a more interesting composition?

Great photo - a ribbon contender? I might've liked to see some bits of egg shell scattered on the floor, as if the flower had just hatched, but this is great.
