Very nice composition. I like the calming green color and how it doesnt look modified. Is it a photo of something in the water? (9)

Nice picture, I would like to see a little bit more sky, the road in the left bottom is taking too much of attention. I would crop it just below the flowers. (8)

Of course it was staged! Unless you are really lucky or overly optimistic = finding something good in everything, serendipity doesn't happen too often. At least not to me. The idea for this photo was from observing my daughter. She often finds something interesting accidentally under her bed or by the desk. I agree, her expression should be more of delight then shock. Yup, the floor is too clean. It is definitely not her bed. Lighting could be better. I am not sure how to improve it, though - undirected light? Screens?

Melismatica commented: ...By my way of thinking, one can't stage a serendipidous event. This is a very dishonest photo.

Are you joking? Do you think that everything except documentary photography is dishonest? My entry is a story described by one picture. It is not a film or a text but it is still a story, and even you figured it out. There is no indication in the description of the theme of this challenge that it has to be documentary. It doesn't matter whether it was staged or not, as long as the theme is shown.

Anyway, it looks like serendipity means something different for everybody. For instance, for me, a calving cow is not serendipity, maybe because being a vet I take it as a predictable beauty of nature.

Very soothing. The branch in the top left-hand corner is distracting. (9)
