Gerbera

Took this a few weeks ago. Cropped a little tighter. Zoom blur, NIK reflector effects to lighten the left side, gradient to darken the right. Lightly frac'd. Reminds me that spring is around the corner:)
Comments Appreciated.

Jackie, I love the colors and the composition. The frac. work looks great and this image really does scream SPRING! Nice work .
Two very,very minor things. I think that the green at the top is on the edge-maybe a teeny bit more room. And the bottom left,middle where the bent petal is -I might define the space in-between just a bit more. Again these are very,very minor. :)

The fract worked beautifully, Jackie. And the reflector and gradient effects are a lovely touch:)

Jackie, go look at Roman's floral gallery - he has an image almost identical to this and I think you just took it up a notch! Beautiful fract work especially on the greenery of the stem top. The colors are enough to melt my heart. Oh...bring on spring!!!

Jules I was out practicing today and things are starting to sprout! It is so exciting!!!!!

I never tire of Gerbera and really like this particular perspective. Very nice treatment with the frac.

Stunning image, Jackie! Love the comp and effects and especially those bright spring colors! :D Spring can't come soon enough for me.

Very nice Jackie, almost reminds me of a palm tree with a wild sunset behind it...lovely pp with frac filter, keep them coming

Beautiful image Jackie! I love the electric flow and light control. Great thinking to combine the reflector and gradient effects to place the emphasis where you want it. Colors are delicious!

Thanks for the comments!
