My first time...

[madhatas]

Hi All,

I've said hello in the intros section and now I'm sacrificing my work to your judgement I know you will go easy on me as this is the first time I've done something like this.

I am still very new to this as I only got my new E500 last week and have been playing lots. The only editing I have done to this picture is crop it, I am not brave enough to play with other editing yet.

Let me know what you think and how I could have improved it.

Cheers

Tim

Did you get the whole flower in the master photo? If you did, i would re-crop it so those two edges of the flower arent cropped out.

Welcome to the forum. I love the picture. The only thing I see is the distracting white spot in the flower. I would clone it out. Great job.

Hi,

Thanks for the comments. I did get the full flower, but there is another flower on the left hand edge that overlaps with that left petal, which is why I cropped it a bit further in.

I hadn't even noticed the white spot... now it sticks out to me too.

Cheers

Tim
