Contest: Water Lily

[Nick Palmieri]

Thought I would try a duotone effect on this water lily.

Very nice, Nick! (See, Ed...you weren't so "far out there!") Beautiful detail in this and I love the color tones you chose. I do think it feels a bit tight in the frame at the bottom and would suggest if you leave it like this that you might do a small CCW rotation to get the bottom petals more even at the base of the frame.

Very nice entry! Hope you had a good time doing this!

[Ed Vatza]

Love the color tone, Nick! ;) I also like the details here and the water droplets add a very nice touch. I do agree it is a bit tight in the frame. But still it looks good to me.

Nick, I like the color tone you chose for this. The water drops are nice and the BG is complimentary.

Hey Nick, very cool look. the choice of color tone is perfect. Agree with Jules on the subject being a little tight. Great job with the details.

[Christopher Miller]

Great details and tone, Nick. Beautiful comp and love the water droplets. Agree on it being a little tight, but great work nonetheless!

[Anita Bower]

Love how the water drops pop in this image! The toning technique works really well with them. Nice, warm tones.

Hey Nick,
Pretty cool efeect! Tight even for me!......agree with a bit of rotation too! Nicely done on the sharpness and the center positively glows!
