Hi Syed - I like what you've done with processing . . . I still prefer the flower presented in its natural form. Thanks for commenting and spending time with my image. |

Hi Sayed - I am glad you told us where this was shot as I would have never guessed it to be Saudi Arabia - so much green. You've done a great job in capturing the photo under such adverse conditions. I really like how the clouds created interest through the display of shadows on the ground's surface. It it were mine, I might have dehazed the image a bit and brought the vibrance up a notch. Nicely composed and another good grab shot! |

Hi Xiao - You definitely improved in processing from the original. I particularly like the color balance except for one nit . . . for my eye, the green foliage in the background is a bit over-saturated. I also like that you shot the image from above as I think it adds impact. |

Hi Tom - I really like this image. Your choices were spot on (angle, soft focus, snowfall capture and vignette) and the graffiti throughout adds some dimension to the image beyond the rust. It's a toss up whether to crop out the right side of the image or not - it adds a heaviness to the image I am not sure is necessary . . . it somehow works though. Overall, a really nice capture and certainly not an image I would have guessed came from your part of the world. |

Hi Greg - I too believe you achieved your goal of eliminating distraction in framing your shot. The center of interest is very sharp. In your crop, I think you've lost some of the story and movement by taking out the livestock and some great leading lines of the shadows shown in the original. That said, the B&W image is still a really nice capture. |

Hi Ingrid - The blue and purple colors of the Iris are beautiful and offset nicely by the background of greens. The image is sharp where it needs to be and the vignetting adds some dimension. Was there some clean up in the lower right involving the flower's stem? If it were mine, I would crop it a bit tighter. Otherwise a lovely image. |

Thanks Xiao - I'll turn it up a notch on contrast and vibrance and see how that impacts the image. |

Hi Karen - What a creative approach to the task! The sky is a bit blown out above the wine glass - although it has an interesting impact of drawing my eye upward. I like your processing especially your use of radial filters to enhance colors. Like Greg said, I think you've satisfied the spirit of the assignment. |

Hi Greg - I agree with you. Tom seems to have a flair for seeing possible alternatives and suggesting changes that I may not have considered. Quite helpful and often super easy to implement. Thanks for sharing your thoughts! Best - |

Hi Tom - The botanical artist in me wants to present these kinds of images as you would see them in nature. Even in a vase, these blooms are typically so heavy they don't stand upright. So I would have never entertained the idea of rotating the image as you've presented it. As well, my leaning is to crop tight . . . normally. In this instance, I tried cropping the photo but felt like I lost some depth that I liked in the image. I always thought art fundamentals would transfer to photography. I'm learning that's not always the case. Thanks for your perspective and kind comments about technical efforts. |
