You decide whether or not this works... The background may be distracting but was deliberate (a highly gaussian-blurred layer of now-unrecognisable crocuses), and the filters I used may not appeal... But I kind of liked the soft feel to this. If it bombs, it bombs Smile

Thank you for taking the time to look, at least!

If this bombs it certainly won't be your fault, this is completely gorgeous. All the elegance of nature with the freshness of original of art.

I think the background works quite well with this. I think this is superb - absolutely exquisite! Love the comp with the vase partway out of the frame.

Although your background's origin is unrecognizable, it is perfect for this, adding nicely to the overall soft effect.

Possum,

I love your abstracts. Even the arrangements of your flowers portrait an abstract form and the superb blends of colors are distinctive.

Well done.

This, however, so doesn't. I love the background, Possum, and the vasey type thing!
