    Default Purple Lupine 2

    I took this photo indoors against a white cabinet using natural light. Nikon D300, Sigma 105mm macro, f3.2, 1/80, ISO 320. Processed in Elements 10, including High Pass, Viveza, CEP: Pro Contrast. Added one of my textures. I'm unsure of the placement of the flower in the frame. Should I crop some from the right? Or, add more to the left?

    Lovely composition, Anita. I love the curved stem and the colors. It stands out really well on the bg texture. The placement works fine for me. Very nice processing!

    Anita, I like it just the way it is The curled paper edge at the bottom is a nice touch.

    Anita, I would change the composition at all...beautifully rendered colors, I love the soft, sensuous curve of the lupine's stem...you have a deft touch with your processing of these images. Well done.

    Anita, I like the composition. The curled up edges are a nice effect. The soft color palette is pleasing.
