The colors are gorgeous and the texture and detail from Fractalius really make it pop.

This is beautiful. I like the overlapping petals and the colors are gorgeous. Nice use of fract.

[Steve Adkins]

Awesome, Joe! Love the colors, frac work and Black BG.

Joe, I love the colors and the fract, the unique composition is very interesting to me. I wonder what that white petal? is on the bottom and if it would look better cropped out. Nice job either way!! The black BG is a great touch to this fantastic work of art-hey can you tell I like it!!

[Kerry Perkins]

Very nice floral portrait Joe. I love the colors and tasteful application of Fractalius. It looks like you cleaned up the outer edges, which makes a big difference when fracting. I see a tiny bit of "fluff" in the overlap of the petals on the lower flower.

Joe, I love the colors and the composition as well as the fract work. I agree with Denise about the one white petal - it's a little distracting but it's a beautiful image either way

[Joe Senzatimore]

Thanks All. I didn't like the white petal either , but when I got rid of it the crop was too tight. This is one that I will have to put some more time into.

[Cheryl Slechta]

Joel, could you just paint over the whitish petal and leave the crop as it is? Or clone blue petal material over it? I think it'd be an easy fix.

Thanks Cheryl. I just need to spend some time with the image. Either of the 2 methods yoy mention will probably work well. I'll keep you posted , and thanks again.

I like the effect very much. Looks like coloured pencil sketch art. The blues are particularly appealing. I see a couple of neat faces in the darker blue centers...
