Re: It Had to be Blue

I really like this one, good composition and the processing makes it look more like a painting than a photo, good work!

Spot-on Sawdust I like the slightly textured background, and the processing and lighting are just right.

Re: It Had to be Blue

It's been some time since I did a critique ...

Love the composition

I like the lighting + where the shadows/highlights are falling, but it's a bit strong + contrasty for my taste, with the highlights being very stark. Also a bit too blue, i.e. saturated, bold, + I'd like the colour of the flower to be different from the colour of the BG, e.g. the whole flower could be in the pale blue hue which you used for the centre of the flower. Also perhaps the BG could be a bit softer (less opacity), because as it is it's dominating the image (for me).

I like the concept, sawdust, very much, but I think I'd prefer a softer presentation for this one

Re: It Had to be Blue

This is a perfect example of photoshopping with a purpose and with a great result. It is almost painting-like.

My only quibble is the over the top highlight on the most forward petal.

And bugs, your comments are very worthwhile, no matter what your level of skills is.
