21 Aug 22 Comment Mike Interesting and very different. Fun image to work on. Nicely done. I wonder How it would look if the back of the ocean matched glass reflection. Just a crazy thought. I see a lot of flexibility in presentation of this image. Aug 15th
21 Aug 22 Reply I wanted to keep this image close to IC. However just for kicks I flipped it vertically. New Title: Red Shrooms: What do you think? Aug 15th
21 Aug 22 Reply Steve, to my old eyes, the leaves are properly randomized, some red and the majority dark green. I would think that the leaves would disappear as the dark ones fall into the poppy field. Aug 8th
21 Aug 22 Comment Joan, You have been kind to share a lot of clever and fun images. This is certainly one of them. I wish you had included small motion tails in the falling leaf brushes. Otherwise, very well done. Aug 8th

80 Aug 22 Comment Katherine: Thank you for taking the to review my image. I like how you worked on the added petal. When it comes to the changes in hue and saturation, unless you are making a catalogue image, the extent is purely a matter of taste. IOW there is no right or wrong. Simply a matter of personal preference. Aug 17th
80 Aug 22 Reply Only when I make careless mistakes, that I am too lazy to fix. Aug 14th
80 Aug 22 Comment Katherine, I like the way you showed the grouping of flowers. As a suggestion, if you lower the contrast, and make slight adjustments to blending, You can get more natural tonal variations. Aug 14th

80 Aug 22 Comment Doug, I cannot think of anything I would do to improve your image. To me your original reminds me of a metalic sculpture. You have inspired me to collect some Hosta leaves and try my luck. Thank you for sharing. Aug 10th
80 Aug 22 Comment Nadia, As with Bob I have never seen a Picasso flower before. Your treatment and presentation nicely compliments the flower. I wonder if the stem really has a bluish cast. Aug 10th
80 Aug 22 Reply Same goal as mine. Aug 10th
80 Aug 22 Reply Bob Thanks for your reply. I will look again.

80 Aug 22 Comment Jacob, You have a nice image of a sunflower. I agree with the other comments, but would like to show some context. In my VF I cropped to a vertical, using context aware cropping; lengthened the stem, and made some small adjustments to color and shadow. Aug 10th
80 Aug 22 Comment Bob, Your image hit on of my weak spots, impressionism. You started with a high class good image, and I interpret your final image as telling your feelings about the image. I see a struggle to rise from the ordinary, as represented by the darkish blend of red and green, to the gradually increasing luminescence, where it will show allitts beauty. I can also see it a a representation of man's continuing Faustian struggle. Very well done. Aug 10th
80 Aug 22 Reply Bob, Thank you for your comment. To amplify my comment to Nadia, I am one of those individuals who creates images for my own pleasure. Like most of us I like my images to be appreciated for what they are, not necessarily for a picayune CC judge. Some of the images I submit to DDG contain items that I am not certain about, but placed for a reason. The orange blob is one of them. I'm not sure that it works, and would be interested in hearing other solutions to my flatness issue. I have a very thick skin when it comes to art.
BTW LR & ACR have the same engine, and in many cases there are far more than 6 ways of treating an image.		 Aug 10th
80 Aug 22 Reply Nadia, Thank you for your comments. The small floating petal was not in the original. I thought the image needed more of a feeling of depth, and using the foliage felt intrusive. For that reason I also left a slight blur on the top petals.
