Ok - if you can believe it, my complicated yellow ginger (I think it's a ginger) got even more complicated when the bloom started blooming. I'm 2 for 2 now on complicated blooms that sprout little blooms themselves.... :)
The new blooms are the curly things on the end of the main bloom's "arms".
The intricacy of this fascinates me, and makes me want to share it - but how to take something so complicated and illustrate it well?
Please let me know how you would go about tackling something like this - or if it's one of those subjects that better illustrated for the record's sake, and not suitable for "art"....
I think Gus might have nailed it. I think your image is perfectly fine compositionally but you wanted it to appear simpler and the only way to do that is to eliminate the unnecessary portions which Gus did. Both are very nice images.
Amy, think you had a fantastic image. Gus did make it simpler, but yours was great as is. The dark background worked well with the golden and green plant.
Keeping it simple
