25 Aug 21 Comment Interesting image. The pears are sharp and the background is blurry where it needs to be. Only 2 suggestions, cutting of the tops of the needles on the top is a distraction, and I would tone down the background especially on the bottom. The bottom is the first thing my eye went too because it is the brightest spot in the image. Aug 21st
25 Aug 21 Comment A great example of creatively creating a subject for a image. I agree with Abe about toning down the brightness and I would not cut the tips of the petals. Aug 21st
25 Aug 21 Comment Hi Julie, welcome to the group. I like your image, it is different from most sunflower images for the reason you state, it looks like a lions mane. A couple of suggestions, the center of the flower does not look tack sharp. The petals not being sharp does not bother me, but I believe the center should be like the lions face, tack sharp. Personally I am not a fan of cutting off part of the flower through cropping, so I would not have cropped off the top of the image. Aug 21st
25 Aug 21 Comment I agree this is an interesting start but needs to enhance the strings so they pop. I thought B&W may be an answer. In LR I selected a portion of the image, I did not try for the best portion, and cropped. Converted to B&W, in Topaz Studio I selected a B&W preset and applied at 100%. The image had a lot of noise (which may be from cropping a jpg) so I went to Topaz DeNoise and adjusted to reduce the noise especially in the leaves. This brought out the whites. There is more that could be done, like using a brush to burn the leaves. Also, the part of the image selected in the crop could have a big impact. The result is in the thumbnail. Aug 21st
