Hi Wanda,
You did an excellent job here. Great how the yellow jumps out from de desaturated image. Excellent sharpness. A fine contribution to the theme my dear!

Good clarity and management of depth! I would have desaturated the green in the stem too. But that's personal taste.

Hi Wanda,

Well your entry really fits the theme. The orange coneflower is really attractive against a group of blurred supporting flowers in the b/g. The Fibonacci spirals in the colored conehead, always the feature that I like to focus on, is evident, vivid, and sharp. Congratulations. I really like this. Greetings!

Hi Wanda,
This is one of the standout partial desaturation contributions, well done.
You did a wonderful job of isolating the flower, but, you did it the hard way.
Try desaturating the top layer, then erasing only the flower.
Pete.

HI Wanda
I like the placement of the flowers with the colored one being placed to the left, giving the shot a very nice dof in mono while the flower takes the spot.
Nice work

Hi Wanda,

Indeed, while I was away attending a wedding, there was the theme - this works out absolutely great.
Very enjoyable picture, have yet to see the rest but I am sure this was one of the best for the theme.

Bonjour Wanda
Je me sens commesi je négligeais de visiter tes photos. but I'm sooooooooooooooo busy in this season that I can't find the time to visit my treklens friends. That Rudbeckia is just perfect in its natural color. I know how much work it means in PP work but I think it was worth doing. That presentation is excellent. a great contribution to the theme.
Bravo
