First, I'll post the original "straight" version of this lilly in this Gallery.

Then, I'll post the Photo Art version.

Which do you prefer?

I like the balance btw. the flower and the bud. I would like to see a little more detail, brightness of the leaves.

I like the looks of the blossom better here than in the Photo Art version, Sandy, but the greenery kind of fades into the bg in this one-maybe boost the exposure on that part of the image just a trifle?

I really like the composition with the flower and bud, and the light, esp. with flash, is perfect. I actually like the leaves fading into black effect. Very nice.

In the larger image, the leaves have more presence, but I still feel they would benefit from a bit more brightness. A very small nit indeed. This is a beautiful photo. cool

This is a beautiful look at this Oriental Lily, Sandy! I like the light on the Lily and bud. I also like the way the dark green leaves fade into the bg.

You created a very cool and colorful effect in the Photo Art version, but if I have to pick one that I prefer I would say that it's this one.
