I find the difference in opinions interesting. Some say "sack the sack". I say the texture and the color really set the flower off.

Very creative. Love the simple paper background. It looks like it is hugging the flower. Well done.

Like the title. Ms Calla's flower is a bit blown out. The back ground works nicely with the flower.

Very nice. I have a similar picture called "Heart of a Flower" but the picture is from the inside. This is one of my favorites of this challenge. My only suggestion would have been to blur the background a little more. I love the choice of brown paper but it looks too much like brown paper as opposed to a nice background. - 9

I find myself distracted by the background.

I love the lily, but the sack needs to be sacked to me.

Another beautiful shot! The background you chose is great, nice textures against the softness of the flower. I find the tip of the flower detracts from the beauty of the shot just a little.

I'd never have thought of using crumpled paper as a background. It works well here. Thanks. 7

Very good colour on the flower, though a couple of areas seem blown out a touch. Not so sure about the background helping. Good entry. (9)

Nice color along stem. I'm unsure about the background, but good shot!

Great Color the background is a little distracting

This would be incredible if the crumpled paper bag in background is softened and/or bluured more. It just stands out too much to me.

Interesting choice of background... Comes out nicely!
