This challenge is addictive! Managed one more. The usual desatting and layering routinue. Lost count of what I did.

Nice image and application, Kora.
I might crop a little on the left border, if it were mine. But ...
Your image ... your vision.
Kora, Glad to see you are a member:) Not sure why your thumbnail didn't load. If it keeps happening I will let Alfred know.
Beautiful looking composition. I love how it fades into the BG w/ just enough detail. I'm seeing some kind of artifacting around the blooms-not sure if it's the jpeg compression.

To crop or not to crop. Aaah that is the question? Damned if I do, and damned if I don't - most times. Appreciate your comments, Mark. Thank you. KoraOriginally Posted by Mark Fuge
This is the third thumbnail that didn't load, denise. I'd appreciate your checking it out with Alfred. Many thanks for your comments. The artifacting is probably from a bit of embossing I tried - and probably shouldn't have:(. Kora
Kora, I just asked for some help, so we'll see if it can be fixed.:)
Many thanks, denise:)
James Shadle said he fixed it:) I'll keep my eye out to make sure this doesn't happen anymore-just in case.
Yes, the jonquil is fixed, but Against the Grain is still missing. But thanks again for your intervention, and James' help:)
Very pretty Kora, love your comp. and all the different tones. Might lighten it a bit??? Hard challenge isn't it!
I love the comp and toning here. I would vignette a tad more on the bottom, or apply more transition to the vignette. I love the 'fade-out' look!
Nice composition and tint going on. I also think it could be a bit lighter. I see a bit of "banding" in the image, which is sometimes caused by NR software. Love the arrangement of the three blossoms!

Thanks for viewing and commenting, Jackie, Barbara and Kerry. It has been a difficult challenge but it was fun being stretched in a different direction. I had tried it lighter originally but on my monitor but part of it looked too bitty. I've taken on board your suggestion Barbara and Kerry. Unfortunately, real life interfers at the moment and I don't have time to play today.:( Kora
