Nice digital treatment of this hibiscus. Good shading and textures, creating a sense of the lighting. Good colors throughout. I would prefer a less centered composition, but that is a personal choice. Well seen.

    Thank you very much for your kind review. I thougt the composition is decentered because the flower is positioned right of center in a diagonal position. :o)

    It is, but I would like it even more off center.

Comment from Kevin Williams


I thought this was a photograph at first. Great job creating the realism of the flower using the digital art medium. Great details showing a close up of the petals in the hybrid. Nicely created Hibiscus flower. Well done

You've created a beautiful image with digital art here, Cleo with exquisite detail in the lovely Hibiscus. Love the way you've done the background, too. Excellent use of light and shade and colour. Beautiful composition. Suzanne

Comment from Envision


The flower has such a realistic appearance to it that is almost looks like a photograph. You did such a nice job giving the petals texture and realistic shape. The shading and highlights look great.

Beautifully done, Cleo. This is a favorite of mine as we had a tree version by our front door for years. Your rendering captures the elegance of the bloom and its multiple petals perfectly. Excellent depth and perspective. Nice job on the greenery too. Ed.

Oh my goodness!this is just so fabulous! The shape and structure of this hibiscus is so very well created, the petals are so very realistic , the color and tones , just beautiful, I love the placement of the flower and the way the background supporting greenery runs on the diagonal. I know you put time and thought into this beautiful piece! I love it! Love the way you show the sunlight on the petals! Well presented! Impressive to view!
