Flowers

Nicoli, I think the post processing needs to be looked at here. You have obviously removed the background but it appears to be rather clumsy and gets in the way of enjoying the nude beauty of the model.

Starvy is right............ "close but no cigar".

A glaring issue is the lack of background between her arm and torso.

A delightful model............. but I feel you have let her down with your hasty post processing.... sorry!

Regards

Agreed, the deep etching leaves a lot to be done, and distracts from the image.

why not simply shoot your subject in the environment you intend, rather than a terribly unconvincing alteration?

so far off the mark, unless, the conspicuous alteration is part of the intended art, as in torn and unfinished pieces left in the crudest state?  was that your intention?

everything here needs attention I'm sorry to say

Very beautiful!!

Hi Nicole,

Good news, technically, this is well shot image using the 20mm at F/4.

Now, the entire flower turned out well. That was the point of this image.

Now, if you really do not know how to process this image for whatever end purpose, please feel free to email me and I will gladly help you.

Otherwise , nice work.

Best Regards,  Mike
