The soft colours are wonderful. I agree there is nothing to initially contact me with the image so you are forced to explore the image and there is much to appreciate there. I’m not too sure about the boarder though. The colour does compliment the image but for me it competes for attention a little bit instead of isolating the image. Then again, I’ve never really been that good with boarders and may not know what I’m talking about.
Lovely soft colours and a great focus all the way through. I think this would make a beautiful canvas for your wall. Hydrangeas are my absolute favourite flower, they remind me of my childhood home.
Nice color palette you captured here. I find it difficult to connect with your picture: i cannot identify an entry point that captures me and guides me through the picture.
This is fine, fine, Marion. I love the textures, tones, shapes. There are a few hot pixels (I think that's what they are called - small white dots) that distract; they would be easy to remove.
Aw yes, you truly created a very accurate shot of the fading glory of a hydrangea - lovely detail and an image that is soft but not for lack of focus .. just lovely.
This is gorgeous, with the delicate colors & crisp shapes. Later on those petals will change to lovely shades of brown. My local botanical garden has a nice variety of hydrangeas & like you I enjoy their photogenic beauty.
I love Hydrangeas period. I just can't get them to grow. My grandmother in Arkansas had a huge one in her front yard and I have always wanted one in my yard. I will keep trying. Love the muted colors also. I like how it fills the frame.
