JamieK 1 Posted July 23, 2012 the colours and the softness are wonderful. best, jamie p.s.: i think erasing the stems is too extreme, but it looks good, at first at least. Link to comment
sarah_mcnulty 5 Posted July 23, 2012 Thanks Jamie! I don't mind critiquing my own photos and in conclusion although the composition is probably more correct - for me it lacks a bit of wildflower soul, compared to my original one. If that makes sense! All the best. Sarah. Link to comment
JamieK 1 Posted July 23, 2012 wildflower soul sound good. correct composition sounds like national socialism! best, j Link to comment
gordonjb 10,860 Posted July 23, 2012 A step in the wrong direction in my opinion. While I am not opposed to removing an errant stem or leaf to add strength to a composition in this case removing the upper leaves removes the sense of depth in the original version and flattens the scene rendering it more two dimensional. On the heels of that flatness comes a certain loss of vitality or "wildflower soul" as you. Link to comment
joel_w1 0 Posted July 23, 2012 OH Wow !! What a great composition. Simple, duel flowers that produce a eye catching composition. The use of greens only in the background just makes your image that much stronger. Simply Outstanding. Joel Link to comment
sarah_mcnulty 5 Posted July 24, 2012 Hi Gordon. Many thanks for taking the time to view both images and for eloquently putting into words how I feel about this image. It's also helpful advice for others should they view both images. Best wishes. Sarah.Joel. Thanks for your visit and for taking the time to comment. Best wishes. Sarah. Link to comment
alfbailey 4 Posted July 29, 2012 I like this version best .........of course I had to say that : - ) But you have done a great job of re-working it, and although I like the orginal and appreciate the sense of depth the errant stem allows, I'd still vote for this one.......I think : - )Best Regards Alf Link to comment
sarah_mcnulty 5 Posted July 30, 2012 Thanks Alf. I have to say that a lot of people liked your preferred version! It's sometimes great to get a comparison though, thanks as always for your helpful insights and advice. I am going on a landscape photography day at Stourhead House & gardens on Wednesday, which should be fun and a good way to learn more about Landscape photography! Will post some of the results of the day - hopefully it won't be raining! All the best. Sarah. Link to comment
dougbraz 0 Posted October 4, 2012 SO very delicate. I like the gentle curve to the right of the flowers and leaves, Tones are also very complimentary. Link to comment
