Lydia, my favorite of the three entries. I like the cropped version too. Best. Sam Attal

First I would like to say that I like this very much. The tones are pleasing and the only hint of color in the red petals is an excellent touch. Quite the elegant and romantic shot. As for the tighter crop, the obvious choice doesn't jump out so easily. But my eye does wander less in this one, and is focused more on the part where the glass and petals meet. The composition just becomes a little too centered but it kinda pulls it off. Might you have a shot with a little bit of more space near the left side of the frame?

I meant the original crop that I posted here before I did your recommended cropping. Here's a thumbnail of what's in pending to compare:

Yes, I think so. I checked Pending and I don't believe that the original is there, but rather a copy of this version. - Kelly

Thanks, Traveller!

Ok, Kelly... I tried a closer crop. Do you like it better? (original in Pending) THANKS~ ~Lydia

Nice Lydia - Try a closer crop also - top left at lower third/ half of the glass and up to right edge of mullion; lower right not quite to bottom and slightly beyond far right edge of petal.. just a thought.. - Kelly

I Like this because it is conceptually smart...and the partial de-sat works very well in this image. Traveller
