I just noticed another dynamic at work here, Aloha. The subtle curves in the background echo the graceful curves in her hands. It is as if the entire scene is energized.
I love this shot - her expression is priceless. Vote

Have to agree with Rob about the crop. If you look at the thumbnail, you immediately see the swirly pattern of the graffiti on the left somehow complementing the red dynamism of the petals to the right. The topmost petals seem to just flow down to the bottom as well. "Well-scattered" and well-captured : )
The most espressive image in the gallery. I feel her response is real here, not created for the benefit of the camera. She really is delighted by the incongruous rain of petals, and her spontaneous response triggers an emotional chord in the viewer. The light and color complement each other here -- there are no harsh contrasts and distracting shadows to deal with -- everything is kept simple so that her genuine response can instantly trigger the imagination of the viewer.
