Oh wow, and what a show.
This belongs on a wall, Dave. There is so much good stuff going on here.
The rich orange flower contrasted by the deep green wavy (diagonal) stem begins the long list of things I like about this image.
The soft background is great but I am so glad you left in the cluster of textured greens at the lower right and the big leaf in the upper left-hand corner.
There is one thing that I would adjust though. I like the leaf in the upper left corner with the orange trim but think you should "burn" (darken) that leaft and its bright orange edges as it approaches the edge of the frame on the left. That line takes leads the viewer's eyes off the page. Just cover that line with your hand and see what I mean. Darken it so that it looks like it is fading away. Just my suggestion. By the way, the spot lighting is also amazing.
Tomorrow night is the local club meeting. One of the challenges is CC, color creative. We put as much pop, color, accents, and manipulations, as possible into an image. We are asked to show the before and after. Here is one that I did several months ago and have been saving it for this challenge. The original was a window display in a store in Detroit's Fisher Building downtown.
