Wet Flower On Board

Something I found on the street.

Arne - Like the flower but not the board, it seems very artificial. If you could move the flower to a more natural setting - a grassy field, around other flowers, or even inside a home on a table, with a bright area behind it and shoot the flower with a very shallow DOF, ..

I like the flower as well ...but since you said you found it on the street, I would have shot in on the street. For fun - if you like this type of stuff- you could find a set of tire tracks somewhere and it would make it look like a car ran over the flower ...or something similar. Also, in the current image, I don't care much for the circle in the lower right ...not sure how this adds to the image.

Thanks guys. Just to clarify, the board was in the street with the fallen flower on it. I moved nothing. I suppose the unnaturalness (?) is what attracted me to the shot.
Also, look at the shot as though it might be an overhead shot of a ballerina on stage.
That's the way my mind thinks anyway

I usually don't say this, but the flower is the only interesting element. Maybe you should crop out more of the board.
