Gerbera

[Jackie Schuknecht]

Took this a few weeks ago. Cropped a little tighter. Zoom blur, NIK reflector effects to lighten the left side, gradient to darken the right. Lightly frac'd. Reminds me that spring is around the corner:)
Comments Appreciated.

Jackie, I love the colors and the composition. The frac. work looks great and this image really does scream SPRING! Nice work .
Two very,very minor things. I think that the green at the top is on the edge-maybe a teeny bit more room. And the bottom left,middle where the bent petal is -I might define the space in-between just a bit more. Again these are very,very minor. :)

The fract worked beautifully, Jackie. And the reflector and gradient effects are a lovely touch:)

Jackie, go look at Roman's floral gallery - he has an image almost identical to this and I think you just took it up a notch! Beautiful fract work especially on the greenery of the stem top. The colors are enough to melt my heart. Oh...bring on spring!!!

I never tire of Gerbera and really like this particular perspective. Very nice treatment with the frac.

Very nice Jackie, almost reminds me of a palm tree with a wild sunset behind it...lovely pp with frac filter, keep them coming

Beautiful image Jackie! I love the electric flow and light control. Great thinking to combine the reflector and gradient effects to place the emphasis where you want it. Colors are delicious!
