Daisies 2

[Richard Lovison]

This is more of what I had in mind for a final outcome. I wanted the whites of the flowers to just about disappear into the background.

This is also a 6 image CombineZP merge though the background was a piece of mat board with a smooth texture and the window light was a bit stronger. A Fractalius layer was again used and then the Nik "high key" filter was applied.

Equally as beautiful Richard, but I find in this post the bottom most petals are fading into the background a touch too much. I think I would be inclined to darken them just a little bit. Very nicely done!

Absolutely gorgeous, where less is more. You did a lovely job with your flowers and is an effect that I dig completely. Thank you very much for sharing your masterpiece.

Warm regards

I like this one too, and don't mind the petals disappearing into the background. But I like the first daisy image better because of its details and the centers.

Richard, I love this high key version - it really works for me. I think you have just enough contrast between the flowers and the bg. Super job!

Richard, I love both. My vote goes to the first one but this high key look is lovely. Delicate yet defined. I really like the way you composed the base image Richard and it will work beautifully for many renditions. You have a good eye

Beautiful! Well conceived and executed. I love white on white and you did it very well. I don't mind the lower flowers almost merging into the bg, but might suggest that the degree of merging be the same for all the flowers--either all merge more or all merge less. Wonderful work.

Thanks everyone for your comments and suggestions.

Beautiful, Richard! I think I like this one even better than the first version. Love the light, airy feel and the flowers have just enough detail for my tastes. Very nicely done!
