This one is sleeping..the other one was fully awake...:eek::D I like the composition and the soft background lady Denise...:cool:

[david cramer]

I'll second that. Lovely BG and very nice composition.

[Julie Kenward]

Really nice Denise. I'd slice that top little bit off to remove the dark areas at the top of the frame. Also, open up levels and touch the white eyedropper to the white area at the top left of the frame. It'll boost your colors just a bit and add a very slight bit of brightness.

Another lovely image. Love the subtle coloured soft BG. Very neatly composed too. No nits from me.

[denise ippolito]

Thankyou everyone for your in-put. It is much appreciated!!

[Ed Vatza]

Very nice, Denise. I like the way the in-focus bud seems to emerge from the background. And I like the second oof bud repeating the background. Looks real nice to me.

Hey Denise, love the details onthe little black hairs. Nice comp, agree with Jules and th dark area on top.

[Anita Bower]

Lovely! Only with the entire front poppy were in focus, especially the bottom part, but, that is asking a lot. Love the little hairs. Beautiful BG! Lovely composition.
