Osteospermum 6

Hi all.

Same plant, same bloom, slightly different perspective. Thanks for the critiques on the green patch. I should have worked harder to get some purple behind it. The purple above it from a calibrachoa in the same pot.

Do you like this better? Do you like this? Suggestions?

Thanks!

Nathan

I do like this Nathan and I prefer it to the other. Looks somewhat alien but very interesting to me.

Nathan - I like this version better than the other as well. Love the focus on the yellow pollen and more importantly the hint of stem to avoid that floating feel.

Well done, Nathan. I like the frame filling soft color.

I do prefer this to the previous version, Nathan, though I would like to see the centre just a tad lower in the frame. Lovely light and most delicate colouring.

Nathan you have found a bride for my favourite model. Sweet, romantic with a stark contrast in form and color. I love it.
Cheers.
