Wow, Anita! This is quite amazing - you have captured a real sense of being completely enveloped by floral garlands. Love the focus on the nearest flower cluster and the way the branch leads us deeply into the image.

In addition to the 3-dimensional sense Brenda mentions, I feel the dynamic illusion of the petals cascading down, like confetti. Wow, indeed. This is a show-stopper.

shooter from lincoln, United Kingdom

I think I would have left the whole picture out of focus as the background is stronger for ma at least than the foreground, I think the colours and light really do suit this
