Wild Lily from behind

[Kyle Marie Barcelos]

I wanted to take this picture from the back, Love how the leaves fold in, You always see the beauty from the front. I was having trouble with the sharpening and didn't want to over saturate the reds. All C&C welcome.

Kyle, When I first saw this I was going to suggest taking some canvas off the right and adding canvas to the left-but now I see that you are using the back as the front. Very clever and different! Might take a slice off the top. I think the BG compliments your subject well. I think this is cool!!

Hey Kyle, I like the different like and good details and BG. I think it would work better if the have flower was positioned more in the center rather then offset to the left.

Thank you Denise and Mike for the comments, and advise.

Hi Kyle Marie,
I'm not a fan of this angle.....not sure why? I like the concept but do wonder if exploring the surves of the back more...possibly from the side?....the more central comp may help and you did a great job with the exposure end bG....just not lovin' the angle.

First thing I will say is that you seemed to accomplish what you set out to do. That is important. And to that end, you image is successful.

Personally, I am having a hard time getting past the front as the front even though the perspective is from the back. SO I keep wanting to see the things shifted right. I also think a much tighter crop might help here - taking some off the top and the right. Just a thought.
