80 Jul 24 Comment Doug, thanks for you feedback. Both programs are similar and you should be able to convert the entire file to LAB in PS. Just remember to convert back when you're done. Jul 31st
80 Jul 24 Comment Ingrid, this is lovely. The background is perfect in texture and color and the flower is interesting. The only note I'd give you is that you missed a small area on the right side of the flower's border where I can still see the white wall background. Easy fix. . . . Nice job. Jul 19th
80 Jul 24 Comment Hi Doug, great 4 way take on a rose blossom. Really like where the composition ended with a propeller like look at the petals. Colors are great and of the 4 contenders I like image 2 because that white line cutting across the middle really makes it. Nice job.

80 Jul 24 Reply Nadia, yes to get the translucency of the petals, this was shot on a light board with 5 shots, each at a different exposure and combined into an HDR image. Jul 16th
80 Jul 24 Comment Kamal, I'm amazed your smartphone was able to capture this. It's close to what a macro lens can do. The colors are great and I like the way the fly is presented on the bud. I do wish there was a bit more room above the fly's head and the image seems a bit soft overall. I wondering if running it through something like Topaz sharpen would help. Anyway, nice job! Jul 16th

80 Jul 24 Comment Nadia, very beautiful. The color of red is luscious. I also like the background you used, really pops the color. And I like the way you brightened the background toward the center - it brings my eye right to where it should be. Very nice job. Jul 15th
80 Jul 24 Comment Marti, I LOVE this. It's other-worldly. Had no idea that this could be accomplished that way. Since I don't use PS I'll have to figure out how to do it is Affinity. Very striking! Jul 15th
80 Jul 24 Comment Bob, what a fun idea! The bundles of market flowers made of a wonderful subject and, as you will, turned it into something abstract. What I really like re the individual flowers that peek through, very inventive. I almost wish the swirl parts were more subdued and used more as a background for the flowers popping through. But that's just me. Nice job. Jul 15th
80 Jul 24 Reply Marti, thanks for your comments. Because I enter some of my images into competition I cannot use generated frames, but I do agree it would add a lot to the composition. Jul 12th
