The Dragon

Is it an orchid or a dragon face? I love how flowers can show many faces! The background is tissue paper to make the face stand out. Let me know what you think!
Thanks for looking,
Anne

A good looking dragon Anne. Love the bilateral symmetry and I think your dof decision is perfect. My only suggestion would be to possibly consider bringing the brownish bg color in the viewer's mid lower left to the same color of pink as the bottom and/or other side of the bg. As it is, it detracts a touch from the symmetry for me. Beautiful image.

Anne:
I love this image. Sure looks like a dragon with fiery eyes. I might be tempted to crop the upper 1/4 to just concentrate on the face. Well seen and capture. :toast:

Great vision Anne and well executed. Pat suggestion is a good one IMO but very nice as presented.

Very creative use of focus, Anne. Like the effect enormously - this really does something different with an orchid centre, and the colours are lovely too.
