I Dream #2

Tax season is here so not sure how much I'll be able to participate but I wanted to post my second dream. Again, I left everything oof on purpose, as if in a dream, looking into the sky. A few were not sure about the cloud in the first post but I think in this one, you can see just the highlights of a cloud. I think I like the intrusion of the one on the left but would like your thoughts on it. Thanks. And there is a large version if you really want to dream big :biggrin:

I am undecided about the flower on the left Beth. Very nice and dreamy.

I agree with David about the flower on the left. Easily cloned out if you want.

Sometimes I feel this way during tax season also! :biggrin:

So then, your dreams are boundless? :biggrin: Probably more effective with a single flower, but still a beautiful shot!

This is a stronger image for me than the last Beth. I love the central flower and the cloud works for me this time. The partial bloom on the left isn't working for me. Seems like you need something there though with this comp. I really don't know what to suggest here. I like the direction you're headed but the work is so different from what I do that I don't think I can offer much advice. I hope you'll do more of these. The first two have certainly interested me.

Beth: I much prefer this over the original and for me the partial bloom is OK. The cloud is much better. Well done.>=))>

Beth:
This is a stronger dream than the first. Undecided about the left bloom, probably detract more than support. Hope you continue your dream series.
