Interesting - I like the main image best with the softness in the petals. Of the 3 "Originals" - I would take Original 2. I'd like to see another color replacing the one blue edge. The glow is interesting but I can't determine the actual subject. It almost looks like poinsettia leaves.   Posted: 07/10/2024 05:08:21

Doug, Rose Petals definitely has the best composition with those soft & hard edges and the subtle natural tones. Doug, I find that 3 of the 4 images are oversized (like in your raw size of 4423x3317 and only Rose Petals 3 (enhanced edges) has the proper pixels (within the 1400x1050 size). I had written to your email back a week or so and no reply from you and others can't see the entire image of Rose Petals, Rose Petals 3 and Rose Petals 1. Can you help me get this cleaned up?   Posted: 07/12/2024 20:17:43

Hi Doug. This is beautiful and I definitely like the main one you submitted best. The colors and textures are wonderful and the composition is unique and interesting. My only suggestion would be to add a little bit of a yellow cast to the white edge that goes up the middle so it doesn't demand so much attention.   Posted: 07/15/2024 18:41:20

Hi Doug, a creative way of representing a rose, especially, I like how you've captured the curves of the petals and would say that I like the main image entitled Rose Petals the best. Out of the three "Originals" I like No.2 Nicely done.   Posted: 07/16/2024 10:49:41

Hi Doug, great 4 way take on a rose blossom. Really like where the composition ended with a propeller like look at the petals. Colors are great and of the 4 contenders I like image 2 because that white line cutting across the middle really makes it. Nice job.
