This one is fantastic. The flower seems so smooth, we could almost touch it, perfect on its solarized body (to put it differently, a real flower in a rather weird environment...).
As far as I'm concerned, your mistakes are just perfect, just keep being inattentive, at least from time to time !

^ It all comes down to expectations for me, and I would be better off if I didn't have any! I picture in my mind how I want the photo to look and then when it turns out differently I am initially disappointed. But with expired Polaroid films there is always a bit of magic at work and many times, this case being one of them, I am ultimately pleased with the result. And yes, the solarization helped with the underexposure. When I first peeled it apart the positive half was almost uniformly black except for the flower, but in the negative the darker areas solarized and therefore the stem and vase stand out from the background in a way they would not normally do. And that juxtaposition you pointed out, between the smooth and sharp flower floating in a solarized world, is what makes it work, I think. Oh, and thanks for the kind words!
