    Judy, there's an explosion of color and lines in this image...you handled the composition and processing nicely. I like the contrast of the still somewhat green pads with those that are a rusty red; I like the curl of the two pads on the LHS...if it were mine, I might crop the top to almost the edge of the bit of green pad in the ULC and then evict the rest, leaving the rust colored pad as a compositional focus point...but that's a matter of personal taste. Nicely done...probably my favorite to date!

    I like all the colors and all the distinction between the color and the various lines. I can see John's point on the crop but wonder if the rust colored pad could be extended to the edge instead of cropping. Might be a tough item to clone though.

    This is another really nice one, Judy. I think I agree with a little off the top - the most interesting parts of the image to me are the left side up to the green leaf at the top and the lower left side.

    Judy, The colors and the texture are wonderful. Just palting around with crops and this one caught my eye. Not that I am saying you have to crop yours, just showing some options. You really have worked these images and have shown some very unique looks. I don't think I will ever look at lotus pads the same way.

    Thanks everyone! I like your crop Denise. It includes the strongest elements of the image and gets rid of less desirable parts. Too bad I can't go out in the water and arrange them the way I'd like them to be like I did the frozen leaves last winter!
