About the Image(s)

This is a composite, and the idea was to accentuate and exaggerate the features of this flower, including the addition of a background.
Post processing in Adobe RAW, PS, MirrorLab, TopazStudio.
I really like the end result - especially the colours and textures.
Your feedback and suggestions are very much appreciated.

Your arrangement has good leading lines, and the colors are well balanced. The textures are stunning. I do think it could be brighter, but that's just my personal preference.   Posted: 09/01/2023 11:43:44

I really like this image. I agree with you aboutthe colours and textures - they're superb.
I agree with Steve W that it could be brighter. I've used Nik Viveza to warm it a little and brighten it - just my preferences. Your work is excellent.   Posted: 09/07/2023 15:32:24

I think that this has the makings of lovely image. I would suggest that the flower would work better if it was smaller in the frame leaving more of Original 2 on the outer edges. Also for me too, the image appears a bit dark. A worth-while work in progress I feel!   Posted: 09/08/2023 05:19:16

Thanks, Mike
I tend to do tight cropping - for me it puts more emphasis on the important parts of the image - I think it's just a matter of personal preference.   Posted: 09/14/2023 19:44:04

This is very nice Gunter. It reminds me of antique botanical prints, maybe on wallpaper or something. The blending of the two layers is well done. I especially like the translucent areas. It's a tad dark, but mostly just on the outer edges, for me. Very creative. Bravo!   Posted: 09/09/2023 14:41:18

Yes, it was a bit dark - but I really like Steve's version.   Posted: 09/14/2023 19:45:47

This is very good work, Gunther. The background, original 2 works well with the flower and blends nicely into the translucent areas of the flower. The color palette that you ended up using is lovely. Brightening the image makes it really pop.   Posted: 09/19/2023 13:55:41
