Smoke made rose petals and reflection...

I like the concept. The cluster of petals and the single one above are well rendered. I think the image will be stronger without the reflection.

That's okay...I like this version better anyway.

I'd change to "He loves me/he loves me not"... can't imagine a male going to such lengths to answer such a question... however nowadays everything is possible in these parts of the world.

I don't! I think the first is lovely and I dislike the partial reflection in this one.

Ah, I see. Doesn't work for me, even with the explanation.

I'm with Jeremy. I prefer the first.

Same here, I prefer the first one.

Not sure I'd keep the reflection of the flying petal.

Cheers,
Bernard
