Full frame. The larger version is usually best for viewing color and details and sometimes light. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Very nice Barbara, I really like how the background turned.

Barbara, a crop from the bottom to just above the bottom BG layer would be a distinct improvement, balancing the picture by the partial stem removal and simplifying the BG. The lotus looks just about perfect!

Barbara. Very nice, I like the translucence of the petals. I prefer the second one with the crop, as on the first my eye was drawn to the bottom lighter area.

Best

Barbara, I love the pastel like colors of the petals and their transparencies. A beautiful work.
