Re: Lily 2

Very nice Sawdust, very nice indeed

For me, the tighter crop should have been on the other side as the flower has just a slight lean to the left.

Re: Lily 2

I think the first one is better. However, I was thinking something like this. Although I didn't get the framing, which adds.

Re: Lily 2

Really like this one. Not a big deal if you can't do the crop the other way around, but if you can, I'd like to see it!

Re: Lily 2

Well, I don't think you need to do the crop 'the other way around', because I really like the hint of a leaf that I can see on the RHS, which I think really adds to the shot. I just think a slight extension to the left edge would do the trick, about 1cm to match the space at the top edge.

Just noticed a shadow, or ghosting, on the top left petal, which you might want to fix, sawdust. This might be a leaf in the BG, but it looks like it shouldn't be there.

I don't see them on the screen. But when I pimped and brought out the shadows, there were leaves and stuff there.

Re: Lily 2

Strewth, if there is a hint of a leaf on the right, it's a VERY subtle hint! Far too subtle for me!

I love this Sawdust. I do agree that the space would be better on the other side but minor detail. Lovely work

Cheers,
Rob

Re: Lily 2

I too am a "space on the left" and maybe slightly more tilt, tho' neither big deals - lighting works well to bring out detail/texture!
