Beautiful shot. I'm going to agree with Kaylyn about the clouds. I feel they are part of the overall beauty of this image. I took a little of the brightness down and added a little saturation. Hope it isn't too much. |

Great capture. It does really tell a story of bonding. Maybe back off a little on the eyes but not a lot. I liked the catch-light in the eyes but it is, perhaps, too much. |

At first I thought the couple in the center might be better but in looking at the original with the car, I do think it looks better with them off to one side. Interesting view though. |

For me, it was the sky that produced the most mood so I'm glad you left it in. I'm not in favor of the reversal as I want my eye to go out of the frame to the right - and also, it isn't true to the scene. |

Interesting capture - that's a lot of birds!
I went the other way with this. I like the sky and mountain along with the birds and grass. To me, there isn't a real central point of interest as I see competing subjects with the ground birds and the birds in flight. So I felt I created a sense of layers with the sky, birds in flight, grass, birds on ground and the snow at the bottom. |

I agree with Mike - I would like to see less orange, a little more light from the window like the original and less from the walls and such and a little more white in the snow. However it is a good rendition. Nice job. |

I almost said I liked the second bug but the more I thought about it I decided against it. So I'm conflicted too.

Amazing what you can get from an image that seems nonde. Great job. Colors are great.
I'm a little distracted by the other bug on the pad and also by the white spots below the right petal by the water. Picky, picky...I know. :) |

I agree with David's rendition too. Maybe Randy meant is was cropped too close? Crunched? |

I'm going to present an opposite view (don't I always :).
In relation to the pod, my eye sees 3 items - the center of the flower, the blue of the petals and the pod on the left. I don't find it that distracting though I guess it could be. I rather like the Final instead of the black on the reworks. The petals seem too have rather sharp edges to me when put on the black. I like the way David did the final though perhaps for a wall hanging the reworks might do better. They are all good. Nice work. |

I'm going to agree with Randall on the stem - I would like to see a vertical with more of the stem showing.
I tried masking the flower by selecting Subject (had to add in the stem), making the background black and using the blend mode of Luminosity on the flower.
It's an interesting capture to work with and there are many possibilities. |

Stunning! To me, I rather think the white background makes it stand out more but maybe my monitor is not as bright as Randall's. I moved it over to my brighter monitor and I still think it works well. Might also be interesting on a black background. My only negative comment is that the lowest petal seems a little distorted - like some of it is missing. I think it's just the way it's folded back perhaps. Anyway, great work. |

I also like the colors here. My feeling is that the moth sort of detracts from the flowers in this case. It adds a 4th element to the three blooms. If you were to do what Randall suggests, I would like to see the left flower removed leaving the two flowers and the moth. While the border is colored nicely, I feel the red is so wide that it detracts from my view of the image. Glad to see that you use the stroke though - many don't. |

Lovely! The B/W does make it stand out. I like the way the light rims the leaves. I'll get on my soapbox about adding a stroke though. It would confine my view within the image instead of letting it travel outside the borders. |

Hi David - she did say she used the Skew tool. :) |
