What a great find! The snow is a lovely crisp white and to my eye looks real and the focus on the bird's beak looks tack sharp. Thanks for sharing this sweet image.
I wish the feather details were clearer and there was more negative space at camera right. I agree with Karen about cropping out the tree. |

Hi Ruth,
This image appeals to me and it conveys a sense of narrativeĆ¢ā¬¦waiting for Santa :) A bite of those cookies and sip of milk would hit the spot for meĆ¢ā¬¦so tempting.
I think the idea of a Christmas table cloth is a good one but I didn't recognize that from the image. The lighting arrangement makes sense, but the light seems just a tad harsh to me. |

To me, the lighting, lines of the petal arrangements, and details are strengths in this capture of a Lotus. The discolorations on the outer petals seen along the right of the frame suggest that this is a mature bloom. Its shape makes me think the petals are about to open in response to the growing light. I think these natural, small imperfections are interesting and that the image reveals the true beauty of the Lotus.
Thanks for sharing this wonderful image. |

Hi Karen,
The delicate softness that this image conveys to me is truly soothing! I find the values of the pinks and greens lovely and the image is well placed in the frame.
What a beautiful rose portrait! |

Hi Yvonne,
I've been admiring the details of the sharp, brown spines and clarity of these cactus plants in this image. The color palette is very pleasing to me.
I agree that Frank's tight crop further enhances the image. |

Hi Pinaki,
This developing sunflower captures my attention and I enjoy seeing the lovely details that are captured. The leaf extending up the left seems natural to me. To me, it suggests a growing bloom taking a graceful bow.
The brighter areas at the above and below the leaf at the right draw my eye away from the subject. I see it is almost invisible in Frank's version, which is lovely, too. |

Hi Bev,
What fun to rediscover an image from 34 years ago and work with it in Photoshop!
I think the image has an interesting abstract feel to it.
The colors distracted me from the interesting textures and variations in DoF. I tried processing it in B&W and selectively reduced the brightness and contrast of the upper petals in NiK Silver Effects.
Do you possibly think it works?

Hi Tom,
I'm admiring the curves in this rose capture and this image conveys a sense of gentle softness that I associate with feelings of tranquility. I think orange is such a happy color and the color values here are beautiful to me. Thanks for sharing this one! |

Hi Frank,
I have fond memories of an Australian spring and this image conveys a sense of freshness and pure joy to me. The gentle light and sparkling water drops enhance the capture for me. I enjoy studying the many flower details and think the result of stacking looks natural. Thanks for sharing this beauty. |

Hi Frank!
Thank you for your kind words and the helpful suggestion to improve my crop. I appreciate the reminder to pay attention to the balance between the subject and its environment.
