Had a go at impressinism reflection oil on water any ideas welcome

Looks blurry on my monitor.
I have to agree with Hazel. The image does nothing for me because it just looks blurry. Was this in-camera or did you apply a filter?
I think the makers intention was for the image to be soft. I like the fact the flower is on a diagonal but I would have preferred the hot areas toned down. I also feel the image would be improved without the noticeable artifacts in the backround.
Hi Grahame - I like your idea, and as Dave noted, the fact that the flower is on a diagonal. There are a several of different directions you could go with this. It just needs a bit more tweaking, i think, to live up to its potential :S3:
Here's one idea. I darkened the background, added a touch of CS6 oil paint and fract on a low opacity layer, then sharpened slightly and desaturated just a bit.
Thank you all for comments it all helps I felt the idea had merit but got lost in translation Will go back and do some PP work Maureen thank you. You have given my brain cells a jolt

A nice PP effect for a soft look is Nik CEP Glamour Glow, and you can add Detail Extractor if too much detail is lost.
Nice ideas sometimes get lost with too much thought, Maureen repost rocks.....like all of us we just keep on trying, new ideas.
Hi, Grahame, I think this is a perfect example of the benefits of posting in OOTB! Two (or ten) heads are often better than one. I think your original composition and idea are good ones and Maureen's rework turns it into something special and probably more like your vision. I also like Diane's idea.:S3:
Had a play better than orig actually quite like it

I like it too, Grahame :S3:
