Captured at a local hardware store's garden center. Brought into Photoshop and copies the flowers to their own layer and added some clarity and texture via ACR. Removed the flowers from the background layer, as well as the pot and other distractions. Finally, I cropped to focus on the flowers. Suggestions?

I think the lower flower is more interesting so I cropped in on it. I darkened the background a fraction to emphasise it a bit more. I agree with cloning out the messy stuff Posted: 05/09/2023 13:01:42
Agree with Miriam and like what she did with the flower. I'm one who tends to like conventional groups of one, three, five, etc. Good eye to catch these two beauties while shopping.

I think singling out the bottom is a good idea but it is a totally different image. I don't know what you were thinking but the two flowers on a diagonal across the image is delightful. Posted: 05/28/2023 18:12:58
i nomrally go with 1, 3, or 5. But these two on diagonal are beatiful too..... Posted: 05/28/2023 22:38:38
Two on the diagonal works. I think the backgrounds should be blurred and darkened. The top flower looks wahed out on my screen Posted: 05/31/2023 11:12:44
