a very oriental softness to this. good.
Hi Jay, nice use of the glamor glow on this blossom. I love the look.
Jay, I like the glow and the colors. The black BG is a nice touch. I wish the back top petal were a little less frayed. The lotus blossoms are my favorites-yet I still don't have a great image of one yet.:)
PS. Those front petals are wonderful!

Hi, Jay, I really like the glow effect and the dark bg. I like the composition with the leaves framing the bottom of the image. Nice work:)

Beautiful colors, Jay! Love the soft glow to the petals and the dark BG. Well done.
Nice work Jay, I love the colors against that background. The difference in sharpness from the front to the back gives it a 3D look. I would paint out that little "barb" sticking up from the far left petal.

Wonderful. You achieved a great 3 dimensional look. It looks not quite real--in a good sense. Prefer the repost. I might lighten the shadows on the petal left of center. I find the leaves at the bottom a little distracting. I like the angle of view you chose, with the petals reaching upwards. Lovely glow and colors.
I like the repost:)
thanks Denise. Lotus blossoms are also my faves, they just come and go too quick! :o They are natural for glowing..........had never thought about it until I saw similar work on OOTB. Great forum with strong
community, talent, and participation. Well done!!!;)
Nice image and application, Jay.
Like the flower, but not sure about the leaves on the bottom. Their lack of symmetry, in size and/or shape, is what I think makes them slightly distracting to me. But I like the image otherwise. I know you didn't make the leaves, so we can live with it. But just a comment on the relationship with the flower.
Hey Jay,
Repost works for me too and the glow is fantastic! I may play around with darkening or opening up some of the lower leaves as suggested.....but excellent work nevertheless!!!
