I love gerbera daisies! My recommendation would be to turn the picture upside down so the flowers are right-side up. Great job!

Thanks, Meagan! I tried it and it works composition wise quite fine. My only problem with it is that some of the drops look like they may be defying gravity, but that is a small nit. Here it is. #205165
