You certainly are creative, and tech savvy. I'll bet you have other artistic pursuits, and perhaps a related career. Love the results!   Posted: 08/05/2020 08:44:14

Another beautiful image Cyndy. It really is over-the-top creative. The water reflection is outstanding along with the rest of the image.   Posted: 08/05/2020 20:26:28

Cyndy, This is a really fun and creative image. From the edited image I could not tell what flower it was, but it didn't matter. The square, center weighted format works very nicely with this image. Well done.

Another great image Cyndy. You have again ticked all the artistic boxes and taken an everyday subject and produced an image that is very captivating. Your choice of using a pink flower against a black background strengthens this image. As Heidi said the square format also works very well. I wonder how it would look if you "spun" the flower in the other direction? Clearly, you have too much time on your hands over there.   Posted: 08/07/2020 03:21:37

Ian - thank-you, and between retirement and shutdowns...   Posted: 08/09/2020 06:06:22

Very well done and I think you achieved what you set out to do. I expect ballerinas to come out of the dark hole for a performance of Swan Lake! I don't have any suggestions for improvement.   Posted: 08/14/2020 10:58:20

I'm sure you know what I will say Cyndy. A great final result but too much post processing from my point of view.   Posted: 08/17/2020 09:04:47
