I added a texture and a diffused glow. This created a two tone that I liked.

Nice image and application, Denise.

I like it, but ... it looks a little tight to me, with all the pedals cut off. I think a little more space around would help ... I might have opened it up on the top and one side and crop the other side as shown. But ...

Your image ... your vision.

Mark, I was considering a tighter crop, maybe a bit more off the bottom and right. But not a loser crop.Thanks for your opinion.

Denise, A tiny sliver off the bottom for me. Nice colors and embossed look w/ a delicate touch.

If there must be a crop, I think you are on the money with a slight bottom and right crop. Besides that I just love where the point of critical focus is located.

Hi Lady Denise,
This is super, my type of macro...:) you did very well. I like the composition and framing. The image quality is good and so are the fine details...I would just on personal taste, crop just above your signature line, to bring your lady in tighter...good job, proud of you...:D:cool:

[Christopher Miller]

Very nice DOF and colors. Agree on a slight crop.

Hi Denise, I like this image a lot. Just as Gus said, excellent macro and perspective. Great colors and details.

Denise, I love the lighting and texture. I agree on the crop - a little off the bottom and a little from the right.
