October 2025 - Dahlia Bouquet
Original
About the Image(s)
Bouquet taken with my Samsung S24, natural light. I liked the way the cosmos flowers extended beyond the other flowers. Selected the background and adjusted the colors to complement the purple dahlias. Removed a couple minor flaws in PS then added an oil paint filter.

Very nice, I think you made the right decision to replace the background. Posted: 10/02/2025 18:14:08
Thanks Mark. It was really just a quick snap with my phone but I thought I would practice with changing up the background a bit. Posted: 10/02/2025 20:38:46
Yes, changing the background would reduce the contrast of the shadows. Nicely taken Posted: 10/07/2025 00:18:42
Great picture. I would keep the vase a little be more in sharp. Posted: 10/08/2025 22:04:43
Thank you Leonid. Good thought. Posted: 10/09/2025 21:31:44
Very nice image, and the oil paint filter works for me. I also like the different background you chose. There is an area to the right of the flowers that could be brightened up a bit. Posted: 10/11/2025 05:09:05
I really like the texture filter, I tend to agree with Leonid about the vase. I wonder if you could copy the upper flower's flower pod , the green bit and use it on the bottom flower? Posted: 10/12/2025 14:43:09
