Purple Lupine

[Anita Bower]

Taken on Deer Isle, Maine.
Added textures by me and hey amy . Basic adjustments, plus High Pass filter and color photo filter.
C & C always appreciated.

Anita, I like the look of this but I think I'd like a little cropped off the left so that you would eliminate a little of the large green space at the top. The color combination is lovely.

Hi Anita, I like the colors and repeating pattern of the flowers. The image seems bright to me and I would suggest toning down the overall level. Other than that, it looks really good to me.

[Anita Bower]

I toned down the brightness a bit and added some purple flowers to the upper left corner. I didn't crop because I think the main flower is already far enough to the left.

Hi, Anita, I like this version much better

Anita, this is a strong image compositionally...great lines and the repost helps a lot. If it were mine, I'd be tempted to clone out a few of the round highlights to the right of the bloom; there's a series of four or five, in two almost straight lines just below center, that draw your eye to them and compete for interest, at least for me. Nice work...I like the high-key approach!

John: I appreciate your comments. I see what you mean about the white circles. I think I'll leave them in for now. Many thanks.

I love the shape of the lupine and the other flowers make a nice background. I prefer the darker version also.
