Nice work!
I like the look of this pretty scene. I know the flood filter is not real but it adds a lot. The colors are nice and I like the background.
I have ordered the entire topaz bundle. I wanted the adjust, denoise and the b&w effects. I know nothing about the lens effects. I hope to get it Monday!

    Thank you very much for the lovely review. You will just love the Lens Effect. I now use it on almost all of my photos.

Comment from pfemd


These are lovely. The color is a soft peachy orange. I think it's a bougainvillea blossom. But they have them in hot dry places. I didn't think they could survive in cold places? Personally I find the reflection in the fg a distraction but the bg in the top of the frame is lovely muted the way it is! Paula

    Thank you very much for the lovely review. This is not a bougainvillea. The flowers look more like a bigger version of fresia.

Very pretty image of flowers. They look like petunias but after reading your notes, I realise they are not. Not many flower types escape me, but these do! Anyway the colour is beautiful, soft and muted and very pleasing to the eye. I like your arrangement with reflection in the foreground. The nicely blurred background works very well too. Overall image has a softness, almost dreamy, look about it. Very well framed.

These are so lovely.
Your presentation is creative and well thought out.
We're given a trio. One is stacked on top of the other, the third one to the side.This grouping has a nice balance.
There is some space between the two bottom flowers that is not part of the flood filter. I like this space.
The softened backround, the echo of pink, the almost grey tones, work very well with the pinks and light orange of the petals.
The flood filter was done with care, and does not overwhelm the picture, the subject. It serves its purpose as an enhancment.
Good point of view to show the insides. The veins of the petals, and the stamens provide interest.
pretty colors throughout.
focus and depth of field very good.
wonderful work.

Annie, what a beautiful submission. Liike the three pretty ones, all very well focused with a clean bg and bright exposure. Don't know either what they are called, but a very well done shot.

Reasonably good huh? I find it beautiful,and sort of fragile looking..the veining in the petals is a nice bit of contrast, i like the flood application, soft and sweet addition. I also like the background..sort of misty and yet has depth. i wish you luck in the contest..this should be a strong contender! donkeyoatey
