77 Jun 25 Reply Your rendition is closer to the dreamy feel of the place than my interpretation. Yours also does justice to the reflections, which I like.

My focus for interpretation, was the geometric form of the tree and its reflection. I wanted to focus in on the geormetric form. To do that, I had to minimize everything else in the image.

You offer another interpretation, which is really nice and elicits feelings. Thanks for your submission.		 Jun 23rd
77 Jun 25 Reply Thanks for the feedback Jan. Jun 23rd
77 Jun 25 Reply Thanks Rita. Jun 23rd
77 Jun 25 Reply Thanks Denise. Those white areas bothered me also, but I couldn't find a way to undo them. Guess I'll need to take another look. Usually, there is always another way for anything! Jun 23rd
77 Jun 25 Comment Both images are beautiful to my eye. I can almost smell them as I view them! I also like Jan's crop, though I appreciate imperfection, as it is more like life. But, fine art does not have to be like life either.
Like you, I like both versions. The black and white reminds me of Georgia O'Keefe's paintings, for some reason. I once saw her painting of a green stone at her gallery in Santa Fe, which I loved as it showed so many different aspects of the stone. The BW version does that for the rose. On the other hand, the colored version has that misty, gentle beauty one associates with roses.
Here in Portland, we have a large, international rose garden. It is a bit of heaven to walk through and to photograph with every imaginable type of rose in it! You have inspired me to visit it this year!		 Jun 22nd
77 Jun 25 Comment This is a very serene scene and a worthy shot. Swans are such a beautiful subject when placed in scenes such as this, despite that fact that they are a tad nasty if bothered!

I agree with the crop that Jan and Denise used. I also like that Denise's version has more light on the tree, as in the original.		 Jun 22nd
77 Jun 25 Comment This impresses me as a very proficient use of PS tools. Thank you for that illustration! I really like the concept of this image and the way you pulled it off. The focus is very narrow, as it is mainly upon the key as a subject, as contrasted to the hole that makes up its story.

To me, however, the image does not hold a lot of attraction. Perhaps if the white area were a bit more narrow, I might like it better. 		Jun 22nd
77 Jun 25 Comment This is a lovely momento, Connie.
My preference would be to have the flowers moved a bit more toward the center.
You mentioned that this is not fine art. perhaps, but it does have potential , in my opinion. I played with it, to make it more of an antique momento. Here is what I did.
I used NIK Color Efex Pro 6 and added the following presents:
Brilliance and Warmth
Bleach Bypass
High Key with blacks at 89%
Old Photo, Style 3
Vignette filter with the color of aging white material.
I wanted that beautiful bow to stand out more, so I added a Brighten/Contrast adjustment layer, lowered the brightness, and hightened the contrast. Then I inverted the mask to black and painted white over the bow area, to bring out contrast only on the bow.		 Jun 22nd

77 Jun 25 Comment This is a stunning image! I really like the cooling effect you put on it. I couldn't resist seeing how it would look in monotone.
I tried two takes on that. One is monotone and the other is muted. Both used Topaz BW, but the muted one is Topaz BW with the Opalotype style Hand Printed Cream with a red filter.		 Jun 21st
