Thank you so much for posting my edited version Denise. I too prefer the original image. For me the soft halo sets the peony off from the pink cloud and helps anchor the image. |

I am having technical issue posting my edited image. When I post and open the image on the site it views at 100 or 200X. I might need to get some help from Denise as I have no idea why this is happening. |

Thank you Mary. I have taken a shot at editing my image with everyones feedback in mind. I cloned the halo out and used blending modes to intensify the stem. Removing the halo results in the lower petals on the right fading into the background - not necessarily a bad thing. I like aspects of both images. |

It can be so very difficult to create images for others which meet their expectations so bravo to you for the effort you are putting in on your friends behalf - she should love this. I can really see this beautiful image on a wall and I really like the creativity you bring to both creating and using your textures. The texture in the blue portion of the image really softens the overall effect you have achieved. I might experiment with reducing the opacity of the texture on the sunflower itself but it works just fine as is. |

Thank you Georgianne. I like your idea a lot and it has inspired me to take action. For some reason I cannot use the Nik Collection in Photoshop. The filters will process the image but when I attempt to save the file, the Nik filter disappears and I am back into PS as though I have done nothing. I have avoided dealing with tech support to address this issue but you have inspired me to take it on as the stem tweak idea you are proposing is a really good one and ........... I really should address this ongoing limitation. Thank you. |

I completely agree Connie that I should experiment with cleaning up the halo around the flower and see if it improves the image. I hope to do this when I get back from fishing in NY and post so the group can see the result. |

This is a lovely image Denise. Great use of depth of field and your processing has removed the distracting elements and left us to focus on what you wanted us to - well done. |

I think that idea is worth giving a try Witta. I noticed the outline you are referring to and thought that it acted as a sort of shadow to set the flower off and give it a little dimension. I think I will eliminate it and see which approach works best. |

Completely agree with others that this is a fantastic image. I love the painterly quality you have achieved. I would usually not want the texture on the flowers but in this case I think it really adds to your concept. |
