Hi Valerio,
I do like all the textures you have captured. There doesn't seem to be a definitive focal point but I like the abstract nature of the image. The large stem on left seems a bit overpowering to my eye. Interesting composition.
Allen
Hi Allen thank for the comment. Owerpowering?yes,I understand. On the other side, the image need an anchor point. In the next days or months..other arabesques!
Hi Valerio.
Yes I can see what Allen is getting at. I weonder about a crop taking all the big stem off apart from a sliver of its right hand side? Just a thought.
Well planned and seen though. (I never see stuff like that !)
Cheers

Hi Valerio, I like the repetition in this image, both in the leave stalks coming from the central stem on the left, and of the curled op leaves to the right. I do agree that that big stem is a bit dominant in the image. It would have helped if more of it had been in focus. I'd be inclined to crop a bit more from the top to eliminate more of the upper curled leave that is just peeping in the image. I'm not sure if you have the room, but I'd rotate the image slightly CW to straighten the stem on the left, but you wouldn't want to cut of to much on the right.

thank you,Jerry. I think there's not room enough. You see the cropped one, but I don't see much advantage.
Cheers
Very eye catching, I think this would have made a very good subject for stacking, keeping the central and right hand side subjects in focus and making a small crop off the left and leaving that area out of focus.
Thank you Jonathan. Unluckily I'm still searching a person who explain me where to find the correspondent 'photo merge' in PS. I have Photoshop cc with LR and ACR.
Hi Valerio, there are several ways to do this, most end up doing the same thing.Originally Posted by Valerio Tarone
From your ACR converter convert your raw files as a batch to TIFF
From Bridge Tools>Photoshop>Load files into Photoshop Layers
Photoshop select all the layers so they are highlighted in blue colour
Edit>Auto align
Edit>Auto Blend, Stack should then come up in a pop up window >Stack
Check your image if necessary go to any layer to remove any artefact.
Flatten make any other adjustments then sharpen etc
Hope this helps
Hi Valerio, the crop you made was not what I meant. I was looking for something like this. When an image is about structure, I prefer a more balanced composition. By rotating the image, I had some left over empty parts to the right, which I now filled with some quick cloning. If your original image is larger than the image you present here, you can rotate without the need to clone, because the part of the image that now falls outside the crop will enter the frame.
I love those tightly curled leaves on the right. With this particular approach they are the most eye-catching elements. However, center in the image are those bright OOF elements. Then the strong stalk with some of its texture in focus. One suggestion would be to totally focus the image on those tightly curled leaves and not any of the other parts. This might not work for this particular image, unless you cropped it and have more on the right.

Thank you Jerry. On my monitor, unlukily, I don't see the full image, the screen 15 isn't the larger. But I too Think it's more balanced.
Nancy is this as you suggest? thanks.
Valerio, I do like this crop much better.
