Thanks David. I used the 100mm f/2.8 lens. For some reason I put the focal distance in there (340mm) by mistake. Not sure why I did that. Sorry for the confusion. (I wish I had the 100-500mm lens, although my 100-400 f/5.6-8 is not bad.) |

I like the way the petals swirl, and the whites and yellow running through the petals. Very nice! You mentioned not wanting to use generative AI. I have seen some use the 'clone' tool in PS to repair damaged leaves which I believe does not use AI. (I have found the PS tool much better than that in LR). Also, the details in the petals appear sharper in your original than the final image. (Maybe just my monitor?) Is that because of exposure adjustments to lighten specific areas? |

Thanks. You did a nice job removing the texture over the mask. I need to practice more with brush softness, flow and opacity I guess. |

This is a beautiful, dreamy image of a dahlia. I like the smooth, buttery appearance of the petals! As mentioned, I suggest cropping in from the top left, and perhaps lightening the lower left corner a bit. From your description, I gather you added the texture in post? In Photoshop? If so, did you select the flower and put on top of the texture, or put texture over flower, mask, and brush away texture over the flower? Whatever, very nice photo! |

A great photo! Focus is sharp and I like the range of brown tones. The best part to me is the composition which evokes an image of a 'mother' pod releasing her 'babies' into the air on parachutes. I wonder how it would look if you included more of the pod on the right? I like the white border. I often forget to try this on some of my images. |

Maria, I like the composition, which leads the eye up and across the image, with the dried flowers following the 'rule of thirds'! The brown tones complement the blurred green background. I wonder if you lightened the shadows or darks in specifically in the flowers if more detail would be revealed. Maybe masking and use the tone curve? Anyway, very nice! |
