    Grahame, Me too! This is lovely. The painterly look combined with the black BG is great. It has a very impressionistic look. I might take a sliver off the top if it were mine. Nice job!

    This is beautiful, Grahame! I think DAP really worked well here. I too vote for taking a slice of the top.

    Yes, nice job. I might add a little background to the left to make it more even with the right, but then I'm one of those "balance" people. Many prefer it the other way. As a Mac person, I'm still a bit jealous that I can't get DAP and create these.

    Both the colors and the painted look are great. I like the off-center composition, but I'd have flipped it horizontally to have more lead-in from the negative space on the left. Could just be a personal preference thing. I think I'd have removed the stem(?) below the left blossom, as well. However, it looks good just the way it is.

    Grahame, It still takes a lot of talent to decide which image will work with each different artists' application and for that I do give you quite a bit of credit Nice job! Regarding the stem- I always like to include it if possible so that the flowers have an anchor and don't appear to look as if they are floating but that is just my personal preference.

    Grahame, I love the DAP treatment with the black background. It really sets the flowers off nicely and accents the beautiful lighting. Nicely done
