I do like the processing here… it gives a more dramatic effect. Some nice texture and plenty of fine detail there too.
The suggested crop would work.. but as is it has a slight imperfection about it that I quite like.
If I was looking for fault… and I’m not quite sure about this… but there does seem to be a halo-ish type thingy going on around the yellow bit (?)… but I could be wrong so feel free to ignore.
Thank you all for the feedback :) I’m quiet new to Elements and working with levels. I know sometimes its down to personal taste but I find thats the hardest thing to figure out… when have you gone too far.
Nfl – the halo thingie seems to be reflected off the stamen (?) onto the petals. I didn’t notice that until you pointed it out. :)
