    Default Coneflowers

    I added the second coneflower in Photoshop, I used Fractalius and revealed some of the color for the tops. I'm not sure that this has as much of an Asian feel to it as I had originally hoped but I did like the final look. The chop looks like it may be too small and too light but I will wait to hear from Dan before making any changes-just in case. I didn't include a thin black border, I didn't like the confined look that it gave to the image.

    Very nice work, Denise! I really like the comp and balance with the chop placement! I like the chop size but I would like to see it a deeper red. I agree that a black border would be confining, Maybe a light gray border would work but this is fine as posted in that regard.

    Denise, this is so beautiful and has an Asian feel to me. I like it without the frame as well.

    Denise, I like both this version as well as the version on your blog with the purple tones of the cone flower left intact....this one fits the theme better IMHO....well done!

    Graceful & delicate. Maybe a less solid color on the stems to complement more the sketchy lines of the flowers.

    Hi Denise.......little late but I do like this image alot. The frac work is perfect and the composition is Goldilocks ( just right !) I will look at coneflowers with fractilius in mind in the future.!
