I like where you are going with this. Consider a bit less contrast perhaps, as shadow is nearly indistinguishable (sp?) from cookie.

Gorgeous shapes, and a creative take on reflections, as the challenge called for.

Critique Club Review:

Technical: Color, saturation and hue are excellent. Focus is nice and sharp.

Reaction: The challenge is the background, and the background is beautiful. However, the shadows on the leaves make them look as if they are damaged or dying. On several of the leaves the shadows at first look like brown dead spots.

When I look at the picture, I wonder what it might have looked like with only the single leaf that is broadside to the viewer. That one makes a great contrast to the background. As is, there is not really a single point of focus in the foreground to hold the eye for comparison against the background.

Even so, I sure do love that background. Nice work.
