Ghosts are elusive, for you too :-)
I think the subject is too obscured. I think a
different angle where only a bit of the actual rose was visible -
almost straight on, where we could see the rose casting the shadow,
but the shadow being the bulk of the image would have worked better
for me.
I'm not sure I understand the angle you mean, so forgive me (and please
explain further) if I don't get your idea.
However, remember that it was not my intention to depict a shadow. I saw a
rather cool scene and I wanted to render it at its best, before it was gone.
Of course, I'm not sure I succeded in making the best of it, but I'm sure I
didn't want a plain picture of a shadow as the main subject, with part of a
rose in the foreground or beside it. The tables splitting the picture into
two exact halves is another key effect of my composition. Would it be
possible to retain such an effect from your point of taking the picture?
Bruce, I'm not saying that your suggested picture doesn't work, but I'm
afraid it could turn to be another diferent picture. Maybe better, but not
an improvement of mine.
Or maybe I've completely misunderstood you suggestion...
