    I like the softness achieved here. The choice of textures is wonderful as always in your images Anita. Gotta get back to Longwood soon.

    Textures really help, I like that the bouquet is not centered, very nice as presented

    Hi Anita, the textures work really nicely in this image. They are especially nice in the dark green areas. Love the comp and the depth conveyed by the OOF blossoms in the background. Very pretty!

    This is really delightful, but I wonder what a little more room at the top and right would do. The colors are great, especially how well the centers work with the background.

    Gorgeous! The texture effect is great and I like that I can just see the stems of the bouquet. You have such a delicate & artistic touch with flowers. I think Dennis has a good suggestion about a bit more room at the right and top.

    Good idea about adding more space. Thank you! I thought it was a bit tight.
