Floral DesignIt is very difficult to get your image just right in camera.  The computer has made it possible to make corrections and alterations to images in a matter of minutes that would have taken hours in the darkroom just a few years ago.  The digital camera and the computer, unless you are a purest, have given us tools that expand our horizons and allow everyone to correct their faux pas’.

The photograph of these blossoms consists of flowers that are ever increasing in size from background to foreground.  This repeating pattern gives the impression of growth.  Each visible peddle appears to be fresh and desirable.  The original image (see below) had a large white area in the lower right hand corner that was quite distracting however the photo-artist removed that disturbing element to his credit.

I would like to recommend to the photographer to bring up the whites and increase the contrast. This will brighten up the image and make the flowers more luminescent.  The photo-artist must have considered removing the branches in the upper left hand quadrant, but I would ask them to consider it once again.
