    I have called this a primula, although I think this plant has several different labels. Processed in LR2 and PS CS4.
    Comments and suggestions are most appreciated.
    Thanks for looking.

    Gail, I really like the composition you have here of three's - two flowers and a bud. I also like the saturation levels of the yellows and the deep greens of the foliage. You also got some great detail going here. I would suggest looking at opening the darker areas up a bit more or maybe brightening the flowers so they pop a bit more against those darker tones. You also have a few very tiny black dots on the front flower's petals - might think about giving those a quick easy clone and making that front flower look pristine since it is the focal point.

    Gail, Jules hit much of what I would have said. The comp is the strong point of this shot. I'm thinking I would have liked those flowers in the BG to either be sharper or a lot more OOF.

    Hi Gail,
    I like the arrangement also. I would keep the BG dark....it really makes the flowers pop!

    Lovely composition of these three flowers. I like the detail on the leaves. Someone taught me to clean my images by zooming in to 100% and cloning out imperfections. This helped my images a lot. Thanks for sharing.

    Thanks for all the good suggestions and the compliments. i like the idea of doing a final overall review at 100% magnification before releasing the image.
    Thanks all
    Cheers
