Hi Brian, I like how you've handled the puzzle pieces they almost look like 3D. The mono treatment suits it well. You might consider making one piece the central focus in some abstract way to give the viewer a pause for attention. |

Tom, a great composition and agree with the others' comments. Somehow, I think that would like an image you standing on the single pencil in the foreground looking up at the flame. By the way, what's the significance of the No2? |

You've done some great work in turning this cactus into a piece of artwork Melissa. I particularly like how you've managed to eliminate the colour and keep the texture and outline of the plant. Personally, I think the ladybug is the right size, a larger one would make the ladybug the focal interest rather than the cactus itself. As it is, the eye wanders around the cactus and then lands on the ladybug. Well done. |

Nice story here Brad, relaxing by a fire and taking in the splendour of the stars. In my opinion, I would have preferred if you kept part of the sandy beach on the right side and blended the grass next to it instead of blending it into the sea. If the waves were coming in then the grass and sea would not look so odd. |

Hi Tom, thanks for your feedback much appreciated. I do see what you mean about the old gravel road, but to be honest I had a hard time to move it horizontally. I think I might put more grass on it to cover most of it up. I had the idea of having an old road that's marginally visible.

Hi Brad, thanks for your feedback. The words are on the original image and are in old lettering so I thought it would be worthwhile keeping it there to be in line with the theme. I did put an image that I took of rusting metal to cover some of it. It mainly promotes newspapers that have been in existence since the mid 1800s in Tasmania. |

Rich, just lovely, I'm a fan of capturing mushrooms. You might consider blurring the background to about 35-40px and darkening it to make the mushroom stand out more from its background. I've taken the liberty of showing what I mean. I like how you've placed the light under its gills. Nicely done. |

Ingrid, I like the composition of this image, the flower for me looks like a "ballroom skirt". It is a soft focus but there's enough texture in the flower to create interest. It certainly has potential if you decide to process it to bring it out in all of its "glamour" |

This is another lovely image, your interpretation in presenting the flower works well and the colour combination is also nice. For me the fly acts as a leader into the center of the flower and I do agree with the others about the smaller insect, it could be removed. Well done. |

Sorry Bob, I misunderstood. In viewing your posted image closer I can now see that the flowers are identical, so that explains the power of the remove tool. I don't use LrC and glad to see that the remove tool is in that program. For me all is done in PS. Cheers |

Hi Doug, thank you for your feedback on both of the images. Very much appreciated. I do like your idea of blurring the second dahlia and I think that might make the main one stand out more. You're right, it's a supporting element in the composition. |

I found this preset in Nik software and so here is another version. |

Hi Bob, thanks for your feedback and I take your point about the background. My intention was to give an "impression" of the background flowers by making them more visible, otherwise the flower would look like it's floating. So here is another take. |

Hi Doug, another one of your creative ways of showcasing a "dying" leaf in all of its glory. Well done. |

Really nice way of showcasing the orchid, blurring the out of focus ones and making one the center piece. The colour pallet is a bit even and could do with a tonal contrast as well as brightening the center part of the flower. Otherwise, a really nice representation of the orchid. Like it. |

Hi Bob, I think I prefer your initial image. I don't mind the composition, I find it quite pleasing with the center flower taller surrounded by shorter ones. I always find it hard to photograph magenta coloured flowers.
Not so sure about your edited version. It appears that you have added extra petals on the two flowers in the foreground leaving the background ones in focus. Was that your intention? I find that my eyes tend to look at the out of focus and wanting to find the ones in focus. I do like how you've darken the background and toned down the bright magenta colour. |
