Weird and puzzling, super shot!

For myself I like the effect of the delicate white flowers against what appears to be the harsh background light.

Light and diagonal are great. The OTT bokeh certainly smacks one in the eyes, and I think adds rather than detracts.

I'm coming in late for this one, but what a beauty (metaphorically and photographically, and I'm sure spiritually). I particularly like the reflections, as Bill says, the young and the old. And the sandals/feet below the chef's body....really excellent.

Hmmmm...not a fan of this light and the sun sort of pulls you away from the flowers. Would have preferred this without the sun in the image. Still though, diagonal is very nice compositionally.

Beautiful look to this, and lovely light

The light here is just gorgeous.

I like the diagonal too. Nice bokeh.

Sweet little flowewrs growing up the diagonal - glowing slightly in the late light. The backyard bokeh's nice too.
Thumbnails ??? ..... Rebel! (verb)

Wow, that's a great photo Todd. What everyone else said.
