I started with an OOTB comp.and I added an Orton Effect to this . Would like to hear your thoughts.

Denise,

Very unique and creative composition. I like the pattern of repeating triangles with the first starting off in the lower right. Nice soft pastel complimentary colors of blue and orange. Not one of my all time favorites of yours though still nicely done.

I too like the composition - the repeating triangles and graduated oof makes this so much more interesting. Love the off-white colors. Beautifully done.

Denise, I like how the leaves fall away to a 'vanashing point' and love the soft light. Great work.

[Steve Adkins]

Beautiful, denise. Just love the subtlety and shading/lines.
Could you comment on the light source? Diffusion method?

[Andrew McLachlan]

Very nice comp Denise, I love the softness to this one. I wonder if the lower right corner should be just a little bit brighter?

[denise ippolito]

Thank you all for commenting. I used natural light from my patio window for this- diffused by the clouds in the sky

[Brendan Dozier]

Very nice, Denise, like the softness and subtle color to this. Beautiful soft natural light.
Wondering about desaturating/lightening the darker redish brown shading in the middle bottom just a bit.

[Maureen Allen]

Denise this is so unique and lovely. The patterns, texture and softness of this really convey the essence of the rose. Beautiful!

Denise, I love the geometrical arrangement and soft organic glow. Now I am definitely going to add the theme that I've been thinking about - geometry. The focus falls off in a linear way from the LRC to the ULC, I really like that! The colors are so nice I swear I can smell the rose...

[Judy Howle]

I like the way the focus falls off from front to back and the pleasing soft colors.
