Just an Orange Rose

Thanks for your comments!

Love the mesmerizing soft diffuse color toning.

 

You may want to crop out the right side a little and darken/desaturate the background (or something else) to get the main subject to stand out a litte more from the cluttered background.

Bobby, thanks for commenting on the photo. I really struggled with the cropping/framing of this one. I ended up liking it best centered, though I can certainly see your point about cropping. As for desaturating, that's something I don't do with my photos, though I see a lot of people doing that. I guess I just liked rich, semi-chaotic colors.

Nice PS work, Robert. Great color and the contrast between the focused and unfocused areas works well. The different colors in the background work nicely, too - expecially the purple. For those into framing, I'm thinking a nice dark, two-stage frame would make this pop.

 

Best Regards,
