wow, what a lot of work went into this. I wouldn't know where to start as I do primarily only photography and all this manipulation makes me dizzy. the centre is beautiful and I am glad you brought the color back to this flower. the shadows adds interest and also lead-ins to the center.

A delicate and subtle image, the result of lots of skill and inspiration. I like the contrast between the stamen and the dark shades of the inner petals. Very striking and very beautiful.

This is a very nice Mixed Media Photo Because of the Clarity and the beautiful colorful Red Hibiscus used. The lighting is very good as all the additional media used. I like the Mirror frame it seems to bring it to life. I have nothing Negative to say but, This is a Beautiful Photo Very Nicely Done. I enjoyr evieing your work and thank you for sharing

This review has not been cut and pasted as I have been accused of. Have a Bless Day

Beautiful work Annie
Focus is good
Love the diffusion effect
Love the framing - very creative
Love how the very middle stems (can't remember the name for them) pop out of the pic
Great color
Contrast maybe a hair low???
Also like the feathering

This flower is very pretty with all of the different colors shown but I feel the background frame is annoying to the eye. (Only my opinion)Mostly, it's good work. Thanks for sharing.
