Himalayan fleabane + Repost

I like the colors. The right side is perfect but I'd allow more space at the left side (especially left down). Nicely done Krunal.

Hi Krunal,

I think you've done a great job of separating the FG Fleabane from the OOF BG one. I think if you flip this image horizontally, you will be very, very pleased with the result.

The in-focus flower will really stand out.

I think you could use just a little more space on the bottom but not too much.

Nice job.

I like the Repost. Do you? Krunal, as far as content fill it works best on small places. When adding canvas, it helps a little but still cloning is necessary. And it does take some practice. Here's a good article. http://www.all-things-photography.com/cloning-in-photoshop.html. Have fun and god luck.

Boring? If they are all as beautiful as this, please bring them ON! I like this a lot Krunal, the OOF Bloom and BG really has the main bloom almost popping off the screen. Good job!

I'd probably give the image a little more room on the bottom. The trade off is that the viewer will see a little less detail in the sharp bloom. I like your composition in this and the dof decision. You're certainly not boring me with your Himalayan series.

I'd try Carol's idea on the flip I think.

here it goes carol
i've not added canvas as i've still not learn how to clone it properly after adding canvas
maybe i've to get CS5 (asap) and jus use content fill

Himalayan Fleabane.......I love the name and the image. I like space around the subject most of the time, especially if the bg is interesting and this one is. So, I agree it would benefit from more room. The dark and light tones are very nice and the conflicting focus on the blossoms make it very appealing.

Really like the colors and details in the foreground flower. Good choice on the DOF. The back flower complements and does not compete. Not sure why the suggestion was made to flip this horizontally. Looks pretty much the same to me. Maybe vertically?

Krunal, I have no preference for either orientation - both work just fine for me. Superb details, complementary colors and a good echo effect

Krunal:
Enjoying your Himalayan series, so keep them coming.
Like the echo effect with good choice of DOF.

Hi Krunal.

The repost is my favorite of the two. For me the flow of that one is better. I really like the use of the DOF. Great color too.

Nice color, light, dof, and pov. Our language reads left to right, which is probably why the repost appeals to us Westerners. I would be curious to see if someone whose language reads right to left would like the first post better.

after seeing the flipped version even i like it more, & yea i agree with you Morris on the language point
