There are a bunch of different ways I could have edited this....I

would appreciate any suggestions to improve it.

Hi Christal, as you mention, there are many way to edit this picture. I love the composition here. to me it is a little too bright and I prefer a little more contrast. Sorry, it is only my opinion. Good day. :)

Did you mean to critique anonymously?  Just for future reference, I welcome constructive criticism.  :-)    After I posted this, I did notice how bright it was.....particularly in the white flowers.  I'll revisit this when I get a chance.  Thanks for your input!

I like the "un-named ones" crop, but I like your amount of contrast.  Good shot... Mike

Anonymous......I corrected my bright version and replaced my original with it.  Thanks for your help

Mike.....I don't see any difference in the 2 crops.  What do you mean? 

Sorry Christal, I don't know how it ended me  to be anonymous. I am Lee Jianmin the one you commented on the cute dog. Thank you :)

When you click on 'critique image', the person's image will appear on the screen.  Just underneath the image is a little box you can check to review anonymously.  You must have checked it by mistake.  Thanks again for helping me improve my image.

Hi Christal

The colours/composition are good perhaps try to reduce the contrast and soften the image. Just suggested B/W for your U tree pic, perhaps try it with this. I think it could work.

LOL... If you're pulling my leg, you got me.  Wasn't the original posting a more expansive view?  If not then I must have been mislead by the difference in size of your posting and Len's version.  Regardless, I like the crop as it is now and the contrast of your posting... Mike

Maybe a bit darker would be better, I don't see problems with low contrast!

Best regards, Christal!

Antony......I could see softening this a bit.....will try it.  I'll definitely try your suggestion for B& W on the other image....when I get the chance.  Thanks for your suggestions.

Mike.....haha....no I'm not pulling your leg......I originally posted it as you see it here.  It must have just been the different size of thumbnails that made it appear that way.  

Pierre......I'll play around with it a little.  I'm not too concerned with it though because I'll never do anything with this image.  :-)
