Purple Iris

[denise ippolito]

I orig. posted this in macro-but my DOF wasn't quite right so I re-cropped it and did a liquid treatment on the petal-let me know what you think

[Gus Cobos]

I like it Lady Denise,
In my humble opinion, I would apply the liquid treatment to the entire flower, to make it flow...my eye keeps stopping on the left side of the frame; because it has a different perspective and dimension compared to the liquefied petal on the right...try it and see if you like it...:):cool:

P.S. Also crop just a tad from the left side of the frame and open up the green mid tones by about 12 percent...

Do you like this better?:p

Very creative Denise! For my taste I would take a bit off the top and add a little canvas to the bottom and right. I agree with Gus' comments and be curious too see what you come up with. I also like the soft feel of the petal.

[Dave Mills]

Just as I was posting my comment your new image popped up. I like this version..

[denise ippolito]

Dave, where would you go down to on the top?

[Dave Mills]

Probably to the center of the small purple leaf on top which would help (to my eye) balance the image

[Gus Cobos]

Very nice, now this is what I'm talking about. "Poetry in motion" the natural lines just flow...good show...:):cool:

See? There's more than one way to save a good photo from the trash bin! Now instead of that one petal being a soft distraction it is the focus of the image. Way to go, Denise!
