One of the first things I notice when I see this photo is not all the flowers in the bunch are in focus, but with how many there are and each at a different distance from the camera it’s practically impossible to get them all clearly defined. Because of that, I personally find it hard to distinguish between the flowers and their reflections. Sooo….an idea I had was use the same composition and intriguing mirror effect since those are both awesome, but use a bunch of tulips, roses, or any other flower that would be more uniform and easier to align and bring into focus. You could also lay the flowers on a piece of embroidery or lace to bring more clarity to what’s a reflection and what isn’t, similar to how the bank of a river forms a border between the forest on the water’s edge and the reflections below.
Hopefully, this all makes sense:P. I am in no way saying you did anything ‘wrong’ or poorly-I think you did a great job of composing the shot, but it might be easier to use a bunch of flowers that didn’t require focus stacking or some other method of deepening the DOF.
