About the Image(s)
Specs: Samsung A15 Smartphone, F2.4, 1/390s, ISO 40, Handheld, Natural Light
One of the hibiscus blooms in our garden. In Topaz Photo AI, sharpened, denoised, balanced lighting. In ACR, added clarity, texture, color balance to the hibiscus and blurred the background slightly. Suggestions?

The special close-up emphasizes the natural beauty and complexity of the plant, and creates a sense of intimacy and mystery. The use of warm color shades, especially red and green, creates color harmony and a feeling of soft power and delicacy at the same time.
The main criticism that can be leveled at this image is that the high contrast and red load can make some viewers feel that the structure of the flower is a bit blurred or not completely clear. But on the other hand, this is also what gives the picture its artistic and evocative feeling.
In the end, the image is an interesting work that manages to capture the eye and the heart due to its sensitivity to details and intense colors. Posted: 10/06/2024 06:34:56

Wow, very clear and intense colors.
I love the lightings and details on the yellow pollen. The green field looks a bit strange, when I look more closely, but I am not sure why. Maybe the blurring of the background is too heavy? I am not sure, but first impression stands, and I think it is a great image. Posted: 10/08/2024 18:02:00

I prefer the colours in the original image but the detail in the pollen & stamens in the presented image is great Posted: 10/31/2024 13:51:35
The detail is awesome. Agree with Miriam on the color of the original. Anyway to combine both? Posted: 10/31/2024 18:44:27
