just got around to processing these ...was going to crop but decided against it as i feel the bg adds interest. .Keeping in mind i am after the softness around edges.I like it as a bokeh as background is softly out of focus .Look forward to your comments

Some lovely muted colours but maybe a little too muted? Think it needs a bit of a shove with Auto Levels to bring them out

[chickadee]

can you explain by "muted" do you mean to soft or to blended in

Easier to show you - hope you don't mind, Sue!



Auto Levels to brighten up the colours. Darken the cyan/blue as a little too bright and distracting

yep i agree with Mark, in that it is a little dull, i think it has a greensih cast to it as well......... not sure that Marks pimp isnt a little on the other side tho.

think that might come down to our monitors all being different ....i actually like the version Marks done , on my monitor the bg blue is a very slight bit on bright side .The rest of colours look fine here.

thanks for comment
