This is awesome. The composition and lighting is reminicent of one of the old Master's oil paintings. I think that I can see how parts of Michaelangelo's cistine chappel could have been inspired by an image such as this.

This is a great composition. Sometimes it pays to notice how cool a photograph can be by changing perspective. I can see how this could even offer more variations at varying times of the day, but I like the lighting on this one where you get the soft light backlighting Jennifer. Very good work

Sorry for the delay, but yes the flower in the picture is one of mine, but unfortunately it's not a very big plant. If you wanted Yellow and White cuttings, there would be no problem, I'm just about ready to throw a bunch of those out. Just kidding, but I give them away every chance I can. I just can't force myself to throw them out, even though I trim a lot every year.

I like it, nice color contrast, I like the table covering texture and color contrasting with the white plate and then the nice deep yellow of the lemon. I can see this hanging in my kitchen right now. If I can get a bit stranger, did you intentionally do the slight diagonal not to be a 45 or 90 degree angle. It almost makes me feel like the plate is sliding down the screen viewed vertically as it is. I get almost a motion feeling when I look at the background instead of the plate.

I think the photo does have some appeal, just not sure exactly what. I think it would be greatly improved if the sign above the man's head had a relevant topic on it. An ad for a mental care facility or a mountain climbing school for example. Though I do have to agree that it has potential to go somewhere, for me it just doesn't quite get there yet.

This was an unedited photo, so I may be able to do some editing. I wanted to see if I could get some ideas before I started playing with it. As for the white, it's mostly not a white flower, but has some cream and pink and yellow, unlike many plumeria's that have a lot of white and yellow. I'll play with it a bit see what I can do. Some of what I played with resulted in more vivid colors but made the picture appear even darker. I think the colors here are fairly true to the original flower. The photo was taken in a nice overcast morning light, though in some ways I think if I had increased the aperture I might have gotten a bit nicer blurring effect. I can edit that in, and will probably try that along with the "brightening" to see how it looks. Thanks for the comments.
