Mike, another nice flower image, sharp and nice color. I would probably crop the leftside to eliminate the oof flower(s).

Hi Mike,
Pretty flower.I like the concept here, and what you were trying to do. I did various modifications to your image. I cropped the left oof flower to the left of your main subject; because it was taking away from your main lady. I added canvas to the right of the frame so that you would comply with the rule of thirds, increased contrast and saturation, diffused the background, sprinkled selective sharpening and the only thing you need to do is work on your hot whites. thats your home work...:cool:
