Theme: Curves

[Jackie Schuknecht]

Used some textures from Totally Rad, Melissa Gallo, and Belle Fleur. Poster edges, and emboss. The picture just had a bit of edge clean-up.

Interesting group of repeating ends here! I wonder about a shallow DOF treatment here, with a gradient blur from the RHS to soften the leaves as they exit the frame, keeping more emphasis on the lovely tips.

[Dennis Bishop]

I think Diane's suggestion to blur the edge has merit. In addition to that -- and to the same end -- I'd be inclined to flip the image horizontally. These plants have fernished you with some great material, and this is probably my favorite fern image so far. I like it for a lot of reasons: the velvety appearance, the diagonal, the curves, and the color contrast between the ferns and the background. Very well seen and executed.

Love the repeated pattern. Color & texture very appealing.

Awesome shades of greens and super eye-grabbing repeating composition of the 4 ferns with the graceful curled tips! Looks like "synchronized dancing" of those delicate tips!

[Jackie Schuknecht]

Here is the rework with the suggestions. Both I think, an improvement! I appreciate the comments!

[Paul Lagasi]

Interesting whichever way it bends, I do like how it gets sharper as you get to the centre.

[Nancy Bell]

Really like the addition of the gradient to soften the widest parts of the fronds. However, either left or right is fine with me.

[Anita Bower]

I like both versions very much. Beautiful curves and shapes. Lovely green on green.
