Marc,

Beautiful entry. I think you did well with the origami. Looks like a swan and lotus flowers to me. Good Luck.

Really good idea here, I wish I'd thought of it! Your arrangment is spot on. I think your folding came out fine!

Well done.

Carolyn, Thanks! Titles are always a bit difficult for me; I tend to
be rather matter-of-fact with them. Good it was a surprise.

Great composition and lighting, I really like that the reflections are only from the objects and doesn’t look like a mirror at all.

Great job
