Nice job on isolating the flowers and making them pop off the dark backdrop. While the white of the flowers really pop off nicely off the dark background I think that unless you are adding text/poem to the left that the flowers seem to be pushed too much off to the side and thus the emphasis of them being the main subject diminishes. You removed the green leaves from the composition all together and I think that doesn't help the composition overall. The flowers seem to hang in negative space - a bit of green would help add some color punch and help 'ground' them a bit. I can't tell for certain which bunch of flowers you took from the original my guess is the bottom ones. May I suggest that the top middle might be better for two reasons. First is that that particular group appears to 'extrude' out towards the viewer rather than lean down to the left like the bottom group. Hmmm, mayhap it is because the cluster is more in a tighter round circle than the bottom one but because the appearance 'looks' like it is coming towards you visually it is more appealing. Second, the leaves surrounding that cluster adorn it in a more appealing fashion for you have them loosely 'encircling' the cluster in a starlike pattern. |
