Your process is very interesting the way you have made it into what looks like a painting. It must of taken some time and thought to get the final result.

Helvi,
A beautiful picture of this blue Bearded Iris bathed in sunlight set against a blue sky background that contrasts with the blue of the flower. Beautiful composition framing and lighting taken with superb camera & editing techniques and sharp focus.

This is absolutely gorgeous! I love the iris and it's impressive to study your work, I love the way you added the leaves, they look very natural and fit in perfectly, the purple tones in the iris with just a hint of the yellow are beautiful, I see nice detail in the petals . This is very well photographed, your post processing was very effective to create this wonderful composition! I love it! Best wishes to you in the contest!

This mixed media is well composed. It is balanced. The framing seems a tad too tight to me. The flower has an enjoyable paint-like look. Its colors are pleasant. In my opinion it would look even more interesting if the background had lighter shades of color.

    Hi Cleo, I agree about the framing. I should have made the frame larger so the flower would fit better. Thanks for the great review and keeping me on my toes. :o) Helvi

I see a possible winner here! Perfectly cropped and adjusted. This image looks fresh and unique! Great job replacing the background. Perfect light and shadows. It looks like a digital art, not photo. Amazing lines and curves! Fantastic job Helvi!! Good luck in the contest!!!

A very artful presentation that looks a bit like a water color. The leaves give a nice contrast to the predominantly blue scene. Nicely composed with well considered digital interventions. Best of luck in the contest.

Comment from adriansart


This is stunning Nancy!!

What a wonderful image at first I thought this was a painting! fabulous looking blues in the sky and the flower and I like how it has bee seperated by that light hues around the flower, those green leaves add the depth and colour contrasts and the detail is superb! This is going to hard to beat if you ask me!
