Seasons Greetings to you as well! This is a beautiful greeting, I love the white flower with yellow center detail placed against the greenery and the letters in red. This is well photographed with good focus, the image is clear, exposure is well managed, colors and tones appear natural. Well presented!

Happy Holidays to you and yours too. A beautiful painting with meticulously detailed stamens and superb colors. I like the composition and the way the background does not fight for attention.

Comment from Skyangel02


The colors definitely compliment each other well and the little pink ovals do look a bit like xmas ornaments or tiny pink pine cones. The technical aspects of the photography looks correct to me.
The text however seems to get lost in the area where it crosses the main subject. The colors blend in too much with the colors of pine growth and are almost camouflaged in that area. I would have moved the main subject from the center to the left third of the picture and placed the text beside it to balance it out instead of across the bottom. I think the text would stand out a lot better if all the background behind it was uniform in color.

    Skyangel02,

    As you can see I'm still late and behind in my responses.

    Yes, I guess I could improve on the layout, I will take your comments into consideration and look at layout some more as time allows. I will also file them away so that on the next piece I keep them in mind.

    The review is well written and to me is proper and give the artist a few things to consider that are valid. Nicely done.

    Thank you for your time and the review this modified photograph all of you efforts are appreciated.
Comment from BrooklynMyra


I love the buds or flowers. I do feel there is too much background. Your text fades into the picture because it is thin and red.

Lucien, fantastic Christmas card with a beautifully colored and detailed image. Great focus on this new growth. The photograph is so beautiful that I think I would have done away with the fanartreview interfering with your message. Hope you had a great Holiday as well.

Comment from donkeyoatey


They do look like ornaments, I agree! I like the simplicity of the shot, but did deduct for lack of really nice sharp detail, and the grain in the background seems a bit of a detraction. I do think it makes a nice card, and I send seasons greeting right back to you. I do not know idf you are aware of it, but there is a "box" around the lettering. Donkeyoatey
