Daisies

Ian - Very nicely done. Looks like the cram bug has bitten you and I together

While I sure like the glow effect, it has somehow blurred the details in the yellow center. Perhaps use a layer mask and erase that effect from the yellow center

This is very pretty, Ian. My thoughts about the glow mirror Ram's. This is well done, but the glow does make the center of the daisy look a bit unnatural. I personally would classify this image as "photo art," not that the classification means much. Nothing wrong with using filters or effects, of course. It's art. I've got photo art versions of floral images in my gallery. It all depends on what look you're after.

Thanks for the comments, Ram and Scott - much appreciated. I did do a little masking but definitely not effectively enough and I will rework this for my own copy.

Ian:

Hmm! when I look at this without reading who the contributor was, I thought it was one of Ram's imitating Nathan. So you are in the cram mode too. My impression is similar to Ram and Scott re the yellow glow.

Ian: I'll pile on and ditto Ram, Scott and Gary but I do very much like the subject and concept. >=))>

Hi Ian love this composition. and love your artistic interpretation of this image..... but agree with Scott's comment about the glow..
