I like the effect but I'm not sure I love the entire image overall. I think it's all the half-seen stuff in the BG. Do me a favor and turn it so the three big flowers are on the bottom of the frame instead of the top (90 degree clockwise) and see what you think. I think it might feel more "balanced" that way.
Hi Denise Interesting crop (second) I was going to suggest leaving he same orientation and cropping half way down the bottom flower ( of the three) For some reason can't get into this image
Lady Denise,
I like the original capture; with a slight modification to it. On the original, I would crop 1/4 from the bottom of the frame and blurr the background at 100% intensity, just leaving a hint or trace of whats there. this will focus the attention to the main subjects. Also need to to tone down the whites just a tad, not too much...think about it..."from the heart"...:):cool:
