Yes, paper, and very colorful paper at that, but not stationery.

Great idea...The visible tape is a killer though. A little bit more uniformity in the shapes would do wonders I think. I would also crop so if anything, the bottom was cut off but not the top. The lighting and the colors are very good - very striking.

Nice comp. I like the transparency of the glass but think the whole photo needs a levels adjustment.

Comment by DrAchoo:
I like the idea, but I'd have to brainstorm a bit to see how it could be better pulled off. The flower looks like the rising sun (which is what I think you were going after). One issue is it is far too centered. Zooming back a bit and giving some negative space would be a good idea.

You processing may have cost you a bit too. The yellows look a bit oversaturated and we are losing detail (which is why I think it looks OOF rather than actually being OOF). There also seems to be a halo around the flower perimeter. Finally there is noise in the blue sky (not uncommon at all as the blue channel is the noisiest on digital sensors). Check out Neat Image. There is a free version and after you do the standard use-it-too-much bit, it can be a very helpful tool for noise like that.

I like this framing alot better than the crop of the edited version...Having 3 out of my 5 children that have had broken bones, the cast didnt bother me...It's a very pretty photo!

Nice colors and lighting. I would have turned the green ring so the tape wasn't visible.

I like the concept, but it looks a bit too soft to me
