Buttercups

[BEGM83]

I have no idea what section this should have gone into but i'd appreciate some help on this image. I really like it and it's close to what i want it to be but isn't quite there. This is the SOOC image and i also have a brighter one on my snapixel page (link below)



Thinking it's that a couple of the buttercups just aren't vivid enough, how would i get those to stand out more? I have elements 6 as my editing programme

All opinions and edits welcome! Thanks!

I have a completely different view now that I looked at the Snapixel version before commenting... I WAS going to say that I thought the little yellow flower is too dark and doesn't add anything and possibly even distracts... but then, in your brighter version, I think it balances well and looks good. I love the DOF but I might clone out the stem that goes up higher on the right... or just snap it off and take the shot again.

Cheers Sime, do you mean the stem in the foreground?

I like it just as it is! (The second one you posted, that is). Happy shooting, looking forward to seeing more from you!

You have three flowers on the left; tall, medium and short. On the right you have four flowers; tall, medium, short, shortest. Which flower are you unhappy with. What do you want to do to it.

Thanks again indigo

Pam - the one in the very foreground, the smallest with the bud in front of it it's out of focus and my eye keeps getting drawn to the bud.
