Hi Pinaki, an interesting wild flower scene. I find Tom's version more restful, the inclusion of the cacti adds some tension to the scene, perhaps that is what you were after. |

Hi Yvonne, a lovely vibrant image and good use of a shallow DoF. I like Tom's version, the simplified background makes the foreground flower stand out more. |

A lovely lily and I like your viewpoint. Agree with the others about the mulch! |

Thanks Tom, the sharpening helps a bit but the flower is still soft where it comes forward. |

Thanks Fred, yes I should have tried a bit of focus stacking! |

Hi Fred, a lovely piece of work. I think the flower is a bit close to left edge of the frame and perhaps I would trim a bit off the right (but not too much!)

Hi Bev, an interesting flower. I too find your modification a bit over saturated and prefer the colours of the original but that's just my taste. |

Hi Connie, a pleasant still life and I like the use of the umbrella in the background to give a link to the figure. There are some highlights on the figure which are a little distracting. I think the background could be lightened more so that the figure stands out and I would soften the transition on the vignette. I like Denise's idea to widen the figure to give more balance to the image. |

A very pleasing floral image and I like the soft painterly effect you have created. I think I would prefer the brightest area to be the part most sharply in focus as that is where the eye is drawn. |

Hi Linda, I really like the composition of the image and I do think it works better flipped. Your post processing has certainly added more drama to the image. For me I think the area at the bottom of the steps looks too bright and some of the colours are beginning to look a bit artificial, particularly the water and the lights. |

A beautiful image Michael, which is fine as is but I also like Linda's adjustments. |

This is a very dramatic image and I like the vibrant colours. As the others have mentioned the halo is very distracting. Without a stroke line it is difficult to tell where the image ends and so for me the cape on the left looks too close to the edge of the frame (or it could just be disappearing into shadow). |

Hi Jodi, well done on getting an image in the showcase.
A lovely flower and I like your treatment of the background. I do not think you have blown the highlights, I think you can just pull back the highlights in Lightroom. I think the flower is a little low in the frame and it would be better to keep all the lower leaf in. You can do this with a slightly different crop. Unlike Michael I would prefer to keep the lower leaf as I think this provides a base for the flower. |

Thanks Michael, yes one had to be quick to capture the mouse in a pose you liked as he didn't stay still for long! |

Hi Linda, thanks for your feedback. My personal preference is to retain some of the texture in the background but I agree I could reduce the highlights a bit. |
