Weekly theme: Cyclamen

[Jackie Schuknecht]

I used content aware to stretch the stems, and the other main filters were Fractalius-Sketch 1, and Topaz Simplifly-paint. Also added some textures from Texbox. The back wall was originally a cement wall with moss/algae growing over it.

This is very nicely composed and executed. The amount of negative space and the interplay of the colors are both pleasing.

I really like the pop of the red/pink flowers against the "grunge" look of the bkgd. The white in the flowers add a good separation from the bgkd and the stems tie them back in. Very nice composition.

Jackie, I love the simple arrangement of the flowers against the wall. Nicely done

[Anita Bower]

Very nice work. Stretching the stems was brilliant--allows the flowers to stand out. Lovely processing and texture work that enhances the curves of the petals.

Beautifully done Jackie.... I always have a hard time with these when they are over done. This is not, its perfectly done and keeps the integrity of the flowers.

[Diane Miller]

I'm late here so I can just say, "What they said!!" Very pleasant!

[Judy Howle]

Very nice composition with just the right amount of subtle texturing. Great colors in the flowers and they go well with the background.

[Christopher Miller]

Beautiful image, Jackie. Every element from the colors to the textured BG is perfect. I especially love the little curl in the middle flower.
