Jan this is nice but the divided interest bother me a little. The eye keeps going from bloom to buds and never has a place to stop. Very nice technically. Don.
I think you are right Don - it isn't balanced very well in this composition. Perhaps if the bud's tones and the buds themselves were closer to the bloom it would have improved the shot. Will "fiddle" with it in PS when I have a little time. Might have also gotten another shot (or can take another shot) that is better. Thanks for your comments - very helpful. Jan
