Once again, Lydia, you display that pleasing artistic vision! Fantastic composition! - angioman

LOL @ Konstantin & TV. :)

Thanks, folks. I've worked it a bit now. I wanted to do this the first time, but the last time I worked a shadow I was chastised. *grin* So, now I've "had my way with him" and he's "Lydiaized". *grin* ~Lydia

Lydia does have a trademark look to most of her work. In a good way. This one is a good idea with good execution but for some reason is missing your usual wow factor. -COAmature

I like it Lydia. Of course, I knew it was yours. The one yellow petal adds that special "Lydia" touch. ~dtallakson

Are you certain it's a man? -tv

Nicely done fun image Lydia. A little cute for my taste, but nice all the same. It seems this has a very bright look similar to some other images you have posted recently. Is your monitor calibrated? This has a washed out look on both monitors I use and lacks contrast. If those elements were changed, as well as using a less dominant border, I think this image would be much stronger.

This is wonderful, Lydia. And thanks for starting things off.

Gawd I must be a weird sod cos this picy doesn't seem in the same league as your other set ups. It seems sort of immature for some reason, it would be more dynamic for me if we couldn't see the mannequin at all. Just seeing a darker shadow & petal would work a lot better for me........I think:-)

Lydia - bravo ! Again - at the begin of the challenge you set the quality level too high for the normal human beings as we all are. I think we should not allow you to post your pictures the first week. I may be would do the shadow a bit more darker or contrastier.

Terrific Lydia! My only nit would be that the black border seems a bit too big and dark for the shadow. It might look more balanced with a levels adjustment to make the shadow darker. :-) CJ

The addition of the yellow petal is a master stroke. Bravo! Julie

Wonderfully creative. The shadow sure is a big feature. Right on topic.
You're so fast to come up with new and interesting pics. Seems like second nature to you :)
