I like how you made it seem abstract and yet maintained something easily recognisable. Also the colors are great.. by using them like this you really have put the attention on the flower.

The leaves are a nice background. The clouds you did behind it, don't fit. They look grey, which means a darker sky and that doesn't fit with the brightness of your flower. Also the clouds don't look real. I think a gradient in blue in teh background would fit better. But the most important thing you can add to the background is some more leaves. I really like the green background. It really contrasts nicely with the flower.

Overall i like it... the colors and the style.. nice.

Just my opinion..

Hiya FIss!on

At the moment the images looks like a cross between a few filters in PS. Looks like cutout and maybe another couple of filters.

Filters are no bad thing and I am no filter snob, but to rely on them to do most of the work is time put into misadventure.

Whatever means you have used to create this image doesn't really matter, it's the impression of "out of the can" that is left.

One last moan ;) The cloud filter is a little obvious at the moment in the background, try diffusing it a little or dsiguising it further.


On a positive note, I like the subject matter and think that with refinement it could be a great image.

ps - might be tempted to remove the leaf in the background to emphasize the flower, although without distinction to the picture at the moment it's a tough call :)

thx.. maybe blur the leaf? have it make less of an impact? and how about bottom left... a bug.. spider? small flower? or leave it alone

just feels like ther's an imbalance
