I don't know why

I particularly liked this framing for the strelizia. My mind must have been somewhere else, but I liked the moodiness of the background.

Nice one, Diana! A great shot of this beautiful flower and your background adds an overall moodiness, I think. Fav

[Ann H. LeFevre]

I use that background a lot! It works well with the plant because the shape of its petals are mimicked in the branches of the tree.
