Lady Denise,
I like your composition...I like the placement of the flower in the frame...I feel that it needs a little bit of light to show it's pretty colors...I cropped tighter and opened up the mid-tones slightly, also increased saturation by 1 percent and selective sharpened the contours on the main petals...see if you like...:):cool:

Thanks Gus! I like the lighter version.

Hi Denise...I like your composition and the way Gus lightened it. My only suggestion is you give it a bit more room on the left..

[Ed Vatza]

Really like the composition Denise. Definitely headed in the right direction. I too felt it needed some brightening and Gus's touch-up helped a lot. Very good eye here.

[Julie Kenward]

My thoughts exactly. Little bit of brightening, little bit of sharpening and a little more room on the left. Good eye on this composition, Denise.
