Title: Sunflower and Vase
Post by: ARP on March 19, 2012, 09:30:24 am

Thoughts on the processing?  I can't decide if it's a bit heavy handed.

IMO, since everything is so soft, the almost-black seed area of the flower should show a little more detail and not be so argumentatively dark, regardless of its reality.

IMHO, yes.  Rob nailed it, but I also find it a bit oversaturated for the look.

Thank you to everyone that commented.  Due to the feedback, I reworked the file to be a bit more restrained.  I don't know what got into me yesterday.
