Exquisite, Maggie!
The green gradient in the background, whether actualy added on their from the onset, really helps provide 3D balance to the picture. Subtle by most effective.

Your graphic quality in both the image and the border, pulls the wholeness of the image into a singular view. So very nice and refreshing in the constant of "simplicity."
Hi,
and how do you want to top that? ))
Chapeau, Maggie ... but you know the question following: how did you do that?
Maggie, this is simply stunning!
Very nice image and presentation Maggie !
The green is subtle but most effective as Asher mentioned !
Merci, Wolfgang. Actually, I wonder if I answer how I did it would it kill the magic; if pressed I will tell though.

Hey Maggie, this is a stunning image. I do think there is too much leaf on show at the top and I think it would benefit from a 1:1 crop. I know the leaves structure have a certain fascination but maybe you can check it out and see what you think.
Anyway, nice one, Maggie.
I really liked the amount of leaf as I really liked how elegant they felt. I have cropped to a 1:1 and it works this way too, but I think it focuses mostly on the drops. I guess it depends on what feel you want the final to be. Right now, I'm still happy with the way it is, not cropped at all, as composed in camera but I may change my mind in the future
Maggie,
Paul knows structure better than I do, but in this case, a lot of elegant thoughts get lost with that crop, otherwise justified.
In particular the cropped version lacks the elegance of a long dress, lithe legs and dropped diamond earrings seen below:
The length gave the original all these attributes and then champagne and an introduction to the prince!
