Micheal, Very nice choice of filter and the pose is nice too. I might tighten up the composition a little if it were mine.

[John Storjohann]

Michael, this is an interesting filter combo...a nice combination of detail and painterly "smudge". Like Denise, I like the pose...but I would tighten up the composition as well. It might even make a very nice pano cropped to the bottom of the red leaf on the bottom of the image, and then to just below the curve of the OOF branch in the background...but that's a matter of taste. Nice job!

Hi, Michael. I like the filters and the subtle colors a lot. I think just a crop from the bottom as John suggested would be great

[Indranil Sircar]

Beautiful composition, Michael. I like the effect of the filters. I would also vote for a tighter/pano crop.

Denise, John, Cheryl, Indranil,

Thanks much for the comments. I see the merits of a different framing but haven't quite settled on what that is yet . I appreciate your thoughts.

Cheers,

-Michael-
