5 Sep 20 Comment Hi, Mark, Since you were nice enough to comment on my image from Group 10, I'd love to comment on yours. I love the translucence of the petals, really pretty. The one thing I look at, though, that distracts me, is the stems . They look like wires, not real. And is that a clip holding everything in place at lower left ? I would do something about those. But I really love the one with the texture, very pretty ! Nicely done, both of them. Sep 16th

10 Sep 20 Reply Thank you, Mark. You're not in our group and you're so kind to give me suggestions, which I really wanted !
Yes, I did plan to put a third person or animal in the picture, I just didn't know which person or animal to put in ! You're right about the lighting -- I should turn one of the girls around to face the other way. I can make them smaller, but I forget how to make shadows -- will have to google that one.
What is a blended color layer? That is something I'm not familiar with .
Thank you so much !		 Sep 16th
10 Sep 20 Comment Well, it's an interesting house for sure. Hard to tell much about it from this picture, I'd be interested in seeing other rooms. I'd love to see a wide angle shot -- not sure what lens you used or how wide it was. The bird on the egg is really funny ! Thanks for sharing with us. Sep 16th
10 Sep 20 Comment HI Diana, I love that you are playing around with wilting flowers. I did that in a club competition once and the judge commented that I might have chosen a more attractive subject. I wasn't too impressed with the comment. LOL
I like this a lot ! I think the subject is gorgeous !
The only think I might change is the color of the background. Did you try other colors? And yes, I agree with Mark that maybe it's cropped a little tight. I don't think it needs dodging and burning, I like it that way.
It's all so subjective !! 		Sep 16th
10 Sep 20 Comment Hi Rich,
Wow, there's so much in this picture !! I agree with Diana, I would play around with cropping to emphasize the part of the city that you want us to pay most attention to. I played around with it a bit but don't know if this is much of an improvement, but I do agree that cropping would be helpful. It looks like an amazing place !		 Sep 16th
10 Sep 20 Comment Hi Doug, Yes, I probably would have used a slightly higher F-stop - maybe 5.6 - and had a bit more of the image in focus. I think it's your choice how much you want in focus and how much you want out of focus; when I do these kinds of images I take multiple shots with different F-stops and take the one that appeals to me most ! But I think your exposure is good and I like that the center of the flower is sharp. Good composition, too. Sep 16th
