Knew this was yours..
Gorgeous - perfect flower with just enough detail . BG is lovely - nicely muted and softened.
Excellent!

Wonderfully done Patricia - the delicate nature of the flower is perfectly complimented by this treatment. The BG has the feel of a watercolour painting and the flower is gorgeous.

Lovely, Patricia... I might like to see a tighter crop, eliminating some of the left and top. A very delicate and beautiful image.

This is sooooooooo lovely Patricia. I would like to see a bit of a tighter crop as Marc suggested for a comparison, but oh the colors and dreaminess are wonderful.

Attached is a slightly different version of the same photograph with the tighter crop that Mark has suggested. I am doing a folder for possible use as greeting cards, thus the space for including a message.

Let me know your thoughts.

Patricia,

I'm so glad I checked back on this and saw your repost. This is truly beautiful. Perhaps a post of the repost in the main gallery should be in order. Well done!

I hoped this would be on the Picks list!! Congrats, Pat, for a lovely, artistic interpretation and a great Pick. The pastel colors and subtle range of pinks are so alluring.
