A beautiful image Elaine. I Love how you captured the backlit hairs on each leaf and the colors are natural. I might of tried using the Ps/LsC remove tool to remove gray/whitish spots at 2:10 and 2:20 o'clock on the image.   Posted: 07/08/2024 19:00:51

A nicely created close up. Sharp and nicely exposed. As Bob has mentioned, a little clean up work would make an overall improvement, including the rim of the pot. One other thing, that I also wrestle with, is to how much cropping to do to an image. Have adopted the rule not to cut off just the tips of a flower/plant, but rather show all the tips and a bit of canvass, or crop a bit tighter than just the tips - personal taste.   Posted: 07/10/2024 21:10:19

Really nice lighting emphasising the centre of the plant, dropping off naturally around the outer edges. I am usually in Gunter's school of thought about cutting off the tips but in this instance I find your crop pleasing.   Posted: 07/10/2024 21:55:06

Beautiful image, Elaine. I think I like it cropped a little more. I also changed levels a bit   Posted: 07/15/2024 17:56:07

Succulents make good subjects, and this is no exception. I really like the radial light drop off....did you do this in LR with a radial mask?   Posted: 07/16/2024 01:45:42

Lovely image. Very sharp and well lit. I like Karen's version. The details are very good and make the image more appealing. Well done.   Posted: 07/16/2024 15:35:22
