Very beautiful, I like how the textures and blurs unfold around the flower, and the tonal contrast between the earthy browns and the flower. Also, I prefer the softer tones and not the bright colors shown many times in thse types of images. Excellent work!

rgds,
Cristian
ps: I prefer this one.

Olá Luciana,
Bonita foto. Gosto mais desta versão do que a do ws, acho que tem um reflexo e um brilho aureo muito mais bonito. A delicadeza da flor é surpreendente, muito bonita.

Hi Luciana,

I think this one is the best version. Color is more unusual and interesting. I like golden color and blur is weldone in this context.
It's a good work. Congratulations

Luciana,
I think this is a brilliant image of this delicate flower on what appears to be leather. Given that it appears to be leather to me, I certainly prefer this one to the WS version. Excellent image. Well done. Cheers, Todd

Personnellement , je préfère aussi les tons plus froids et doux du WS (^_^) Le mariage des tons est plus harmonieux.

This is indeed so delicate! And yes, it made my day. That golden lighting compliments it a lot!

Very well done

The first one is smiling and warm like... Portugal (an early afternoon by the end of spring season); the other one is much colder - Poland? Finland? I'd compare it with a winter sunset... both equally impressive;
my choice: the original! (don't know why :)

Celle-ci est très jolie mais, à mon avis, dans le WS, le bleu de la fleur ressort plus.
Superbe prise de vue quand même.
Merci

Hey, Luci!

What a creative shot! I preffer this one to the other in your WS, but that's just me. I find that the flower stands out brilliantly against the gold shimmer in the background, and the detail is more distinct. :-D

TFS,
Hannah

hello luciana
I prefer this version with the gilded colors, the blue of the flower is richer in tonality and becomes the principal part of the photograph.

Bonjour Luciana
Présentation tout en douceur, douceur des ondulations, douceur des couleurs de la fleur. Image qui plaît tout simplement. Je préfère la présentation principale qu'à celle de l'atelier, couleurs à mon oeil plus chaudes.

Hi Lucy, I am so pleased to see you are back! I am very well thank you, Hope you are too :)
I missed you and your beautiful work :)

This one is so nice and tender, I love the soft tones, the monochromatic tone of what seems like leather and the violet.

Great close-up and control of light.

I prefer this one. Because I fall for warm colours :)

Very well done! Take care, Yan!

Ps: many thx for your crit and visit in "Golden Retriever Playing in the Snow (2)" :)

Salut Luciana,
J'aime bien cette photo avec la chaleur et la douceur qu'elle propage. J'aime justement plus celle-ci à cause de la chaleurs des tons dorées. J'aime aussi la profondeur de champs que tu as choisi qui adouci l'image.
Salutations.

Wonderful play on various textures and lighting here Luci! The warm glow on the dark vinyl (?) really makes it pop out, and contrasts nicely with the delicate purple flower. Even if you didn't add that title I still would have immediately understood the notion of "waves" "softness" and "delicacy." The depth of field in this is incredible. I personally love the original as the workshop, while still beautiful, loses some of that warmth and color that makes this one distinctive and inviting. Really great shot, TFS!

THis version is not bad but I personally prefer the original which looks softer - more like an illusion.
