Hello, Pom ~
"Moonlight Sonata" ~ yes, that title suits the image. I thought of the word "reverie", which means "a mental break from reality; a daydream." The first part of that works, but the lighting ties it to dreams at night. Those silvery petals are wonderful, especially the way they are interlaced. Outstanding work, Pommers! I won't be surprised to see this again. #11219695
