Mirenchu, I really like the lighting for these. I think you did a great job w/ the effects and have come up w/ a very interesting look. Maybe a bit more room on top. I added Theme to your post as it qualifies for the contest. Nicely done!!

Excellent composition. I like the perspective. Great colors and effect. Agree with Denise for a bit of room on the top. Thanks for sharing.

Hi Mirenchu, Nice use of filters. I would also suggest adding room to the top and taking out the white area above the top flower. I might even crop a bit off the bottom.

Thank you for your comments and help, please let me know if this version with more room on top is better.
Thanks again!!!

It does look better!

Hi, Yes, a definate improvement. Generally I find it best compositionally not to come too near an edge.

Mirenchu, the repost is great! I love the composition and the textures are beautiful:)

Fine job on the repost, Mirenchu. Nice colors and I like the textured BG.

Nice iamge and application, Mirenchu.

The top in the repost is perfect, in my view. I would suggest that you crop the bottom, to bring the flowers into the ROT and that you add border to the sides as well.

I like the effect, especially on the bottom of the stems and unfortunately the attached removes that. But I would recommend it and that you add that softness to the bottom of the new image.

However, Your image ... Your vision.

I like the more elongated crop in the 2nd post. The flowers lend themselves to the longer look. I also like the fade-out at the bottom.

Lady Mirenchu,
This is a lovely composition with the oil canvas application...I like the color rendition and the exposure...the mood and feel are over the top...I like your second repost the best, with the additional room at the top...well done, proud of you...:cool:
