I agree there are an awful lot of very bold colours competing for one another, it seems to me to be a little oversaturated and perhaps a little too much contrast.
Hey Jay,
I'm with Jonathan on this one.....but I do think you have some great elements working here so revisiting this one will certainly help. Comp wise, I would only tone down the central green leaf at top of the frame. After you re-work the lilly....try selectively lightening the central part....slightly....just to make it pop! This one is definitely worth reworking.....so give it a shot and re-post it below if you do!
Hey Jay,
Definitely a step in the right direction......how do you feel going this dark with the BG? I did levels layers on the center and shadow areas of the WL.....then darkened the BG same way. Let me know your thoughts.
Lovely image - especially the repost, Jay! Get yourself a good PS book - once you learn a few basic skills you'll be off and running with all kinds of minor touchups. (I always recommend "The Missing Manual" for whatever version of PS you own.
