You achieved what you intended. I think 'simple and pretty' is now elegant. The stamens truly are in a nest and sheltered by the petals. My eye goes straight to the stamens and away from the soft foreground petals. On my monitor, the stamens seem a little sharp, and I would soften them slightly. Looking around the image, I like the subtle blues that show through the petals and follow around the edges of the image. Very nice! |

Guy, thank you for the kind critique. The blossom had fallen off my mom's the plant and was a bit wilted. It's an unusual plant. I love them. I wondered how I might photograph it with the phone. Results of the single blossom weren't interesting. I had fun trying different tools in Snapseed, and the final image resulted. For a single blossom with your DSLR, you might try hanging it or propping it up against a neat background of some kind, maybe use a flashlight on it for interesting effect and zoom in close. I think you could get a nice image. Thanks again! |

Snapseed really is amazing. Here's the first few steps. Sorry the thumbnails are so large. |

You're very kind. I'm still not sure I really like it LoL. It's certainly not the delicate flower it started out as, but it was fun. |

I see exactly why you were drawn to this, and I like the effect with BW. It's a little busy for me. I wonder about a color version and if (in either version) it might be possible to isolate the diagonal stairway and shadow more, drawing the eye to it. |

It is so neat! Love the results. It's very clever and creative. I see no changes needed. It's alot of fun looking at this and wondering what it is. |

Beautiful colors and soft light. Very painterly. Can't think of the name, but reminds me of a particular artist. No one would ever know the gondola was cloned. Very nice! |

I like this alot and wouldn't give up. Here's 1 idea flipped, adjusted to draw the eye toward a triangular area: leaves, chrome, rust. May be darker than you like. |

Good call on the sunlight! I kept looking at it on the path but didn't think of adding a ray. I'd say either horse or turkey, not both. A flock of turkeys in and out of weeds, pecking around maybe... I love the coloring you chose. |

Hi, an idea...I couldn't find a natural focal point, so I tried to create a meandering path and give it a painterly, old look. Snapseed: cropped, flipped, double exposed, healed some spots, used a bright vignette and a slight glow, and frame (I'm from Group26). Thanks for the opportunity-- was fun! |
