The soft light & glow on this is awesome, Jay, love the subtle color, reflection, and really nice touch with the processing. Pano works well, beautiful composition!
Jay, I like the angled brush strokes and the soft color palette against the deep gradient background. I see a few artifacts in the lower half I might evict if it were mine. I prefer a bit more on top than bottom rather than equal values but that is a personal preference only. I love the delicate look to this. It is certainly unique and very appealing! Well done.
Denise, Thanks.....artifacts in the dark blue or flower reflection?
In the dark blue.
Hi Jay. There's a soft, almost dream-like quality to this image...as if you were looking through the haze of a dream, just as you were waking up. I like the soft, pastel like colors...the subtle brush effects...GREAT reflection. Like Denise, I'd like to see a bit more room at the top...maybe a little less at the bottom...great composition, great capture.
Love the perspective and the framing and the color scheme here but the effect(s) do not float my boat. Not sure exactly why though....

Hi Art, OK.Originally Posted by Arthur Morris
Hi Jay, I agree with a little off the bottom and more on top and perhaps the blossom more in the center. I like the angled brush strokes, but they seem to give the petal edges a jagged look..could the edges be smoothed out? I don't use PB so not sure if it is possible. I like the way the petals lay down on the water.
An interesting flower taken at an unusual angle. If you hadn't told us what it is, I would not have guessed. I suppose, because it is so soft.
Thanks all for your feedback. I"m thinking the angled brush strokes, may have drawn attention more to the PP rather than the image I had in mind.
