I like everything about it, the flowers, the frame, the way you put it all together:)
but...the bright orange spot under the flower should go...paint it green?

Have got to say this is the first time a hollihock has taken my breath away. You have captured it so beautifully and the little worm smelling it too. Love your framing TFS

Bonsoir my dear Vandana,
the Hollihock is a little the flower emblems of my area but it's necessary that I show patient or that I seek in my photographs of last summer to re-examine some.
Macro of a great smoothness in the details and the colors. Very beautiful work on the frame.
Big hugs

Hello Vandana
That flower is almost two years old and did not wither away(^_^). That's good stuff. Did you notice the little worm in it?
You did a good work with that"old photo" and you framed it like a pro. The colors are very natural and the presence of the buds are somewhat encouraging.
Nicely done
