THEME: Summertime - Flower

[Ákos Lumnitzer]

Not a huge effort, I haven't a lot of images that could convey summer unfortunately. too much of a bird brain. :D

I feel this may be a little cool? As in color temp. I added four runs of topaz clean over it, but there aren't many edges, perhaps that's what topaz needs? I deliberately used the shallowest DOF in the original image with my macro lens at f/2.8. So no DOF. Not sure what I think, I just wanna be active in the themes. :)

Akos, I like it. Has a very dreamy look to it and the colors are appealing.

Akos, I agree with Denise about the dreamlike quality to the image. I don't feel the image is that cool but you might get that more from the backround. If this were mine I would take out the petal on the upper right.

Akos, I like this - it does have a cool feel to it but I think it's just the shade of pink. The bg colors are really
subtle and nice!

Agree with Denise on the dreamy feel. I like your macro treatment of the filament. Another excellent composition, Mate!!
