From my photo session with Steve on Saturday. Fun to see two different viewpoints. Cloned out some age spots and some of the water droplets, tweaked colors a bit.

Kathy you said after looking at my post, your Bleeding Hearts looked a bit "anemic" (did catch the pun!!). Are ya thinkin' about adding supplements? If so....

Nice capture Kathy. Would like to see the original w/age spots to see your "retouching". I like the addition of the "dew drop". I think I might "snip" the dead head tip at the end of the uppermost floret. Maybe crop too. Your composition would make that an easy 'snip".

Very nice color and detail Kathy, definitely like the water drop and BG. Nicely done.

I love this photo Ketty. A great diagonal movement in both way; splendid matching colors; a very well balanced composition, perfectly closed by the yellow stem. Beautiful.
Take care.

Exquisite details enhanced by the well-ballanced side light. I like the comp in general, but wonder how it would look without the stem attached to the top border.

Stunning image kathy, the flowers are beautiful but the leaf against the black bg puts it over the top

I like the inclusion of the leaf with the blooms Kathy. Very pretty.

This has an oil painting look. Nice effect. The lighting is super. Balance is a bit heavy to the left side ...but the diagonal sweep of lines works well.

Beautifully crafted and presented. Love the blooms against the different bgs. Wonderful colors.

Kathy: A bit too much negative space on the right for my conventional tastes but the colors are just excellent and the drop is a great plus element. Nicely done.>=))>
