Cyclamen

[Anita Bower]

I've missed participating in this forum.

Cyclamen is my winter flower of choice as it grows in my coolish house and adds color to dreary winter days.

Taken indoors in natural light. Basic adjustments, plus Topaz Detail, and two textures, one by pareerica and one unknown.

Beautiful colors, lighting and processing, Anita. This certainly is a day brightener! :S3:

[Dave Woeller]

I agree, lovely color. The petals have a very interesting flow to them and your chosen textures are great.

[Dennis Bishop]

Very nicely composed, Anita. With its leading lines in the upper left, the background adds to the composition as well as complementing the flower and providing a nice vignette. I can see why you're fond of cyclamens.

Anita, this is lovely. I like your chosen textures which give the flower depth. Very nicely produced.

Anita, I like the way you chose to compose this with the petals facing the way they are. Nice job with the textures!:S3:

Anita, You just have a knack for presenting flowers in such an appealing way. The petals and tilt fit the frame so well. Nice textures add up to make this such a nice image. Good work.
