I'm with the others, I can't really make any suggestions as this is so clever! I really enjoyed reading how you did it.

Well done! My couple attempts at this were not nearly as successful as this. Your choice of rice paper for background is well done. Very pleasing composition.

I, too, would like to see the zinnia more in focus, at least front and center of the flower. I'm torn as to whether the bud adds anything as it is placed in the composition. Because of the light on it and space between it and the mother flower, my eye is ping ponging between the two. Perhaps brightening and sharpening the mother flower will solve this. |

This sort of image always appeals to me so I'm glad you shared it this month. You stated it is straight out of camera. I would like to see the ivy leaves sharper, perhaps selective use of AI would do it. Also I would prefer the leaves be brighter than the background as the leaves are the subject in my opinion. I look forward to seeing what others suggest.

Thank you. I am torn between the two versions so I appreciate your comment about the environment. |

I'm in agreement here with the earlier comments about simplifying the background. The issue you mentioned about the wheels, is not an "issue" for me. |

Very interesting image, with the setting sun encircled by the tree branches. While the birds create a visual line leading to the sun, I'm wondering if you cloned them in? The reason I ask is that there are so many in a single line rather than a v, and they all seem to have their wings in the same position. You could still get the same effect I think with fewer birds (some space farther apart than others) and some with wings in different positions. As it exists, it looks unnatural to me. If I am wrong, my apologies.

Thank you for your suggestion. It gives a totally different feel to the image. |

Lovely composition as well as the colors. Two suggestions for you. There is a bright green leaf or stem in the upper left corner. I would either remove it or desaturate it. You said that you focus stacked. I'm not sure if it is from that or not, but the yellow and white central part of the petals appears over sharpened. Your separation of the iris from the background is excellent. I feel as if I could reach down and touch the flower!
