Love the translucent quality of the subject matter. Strongly dislike the background.

I have tried to improve the background and rise to the occasion of telling the up lifting story, presented to me above my sink, of an old stem supporting a new one.  I tried to make it a little less fay, too.

Possibly looks better without the waffling?

Thank you for your comments.  The waffles started bothering me too.  Among other things I have tried to integrate them better by running the image through the "glass" filter, set on "blocks", so that the flower has a grid now too.
