This is really pleasant and restful to gaze at. I love looking at the sky, and this is almost as good as the real thing. The colors and composition are very nice.

Very fancy loo

It didn't flop with me. I gave it a high score. I think the image is very well divided on the rule of thirds. The only thing that could have been better for "rule of thirds" would have been to have a focal point, such as the flowers, on one of the intersecting power points. The urn at the end of the hall, and the flowers came close, but weren't on the mark. But I really like the geometry, rhythm, and light in this image.

Well, you proved you can do the bee/flower shot when you want to. Nice DOF and focus. I like the colors a lot, with the slight touch of pink in the background.
