Flowers + Edit

Two from this morning in the back yard.

Wow Jim, these are perfect, well done. I really like that first but maybe clone out the flower upper left, but no matter, this is great and better than I have ever done.

I love the color contrasts between the bloom and the leaves in the first image. The bloom in the second is quite nice as well but I do like the green behind the petals in the first better.

Nice pair of images Jim. I esp. like the first one. I'd second Ben's suggestion of cloning out the flower on the upper left.

Some great detail on a beautiful bloom, Jim. Another vote for editing out the upper left bloom in #1.

Wow! Superbly imaged. I like the 1st, and agree with an experimental clone out of the upper OOF flower to see how you like the result.

Thanks all for the comments. Here's another version with the pedals cloned out......

 

[Ben Egbert]

Love the cloned version, it takes it to the next notch. Not sure there are any notches left now.

Such great detail Jim! That edit really takes the #1 to a new level. I like the detail in #2, but I agree the framing with the green leaves is really awesome!
