    Flowers Dancing

    I took these two (mostly identical) photos today. They're going to be one of the last groups of lilies in the garden. I liked the movement in the shots. I altered the contrast a bit to make them seem a bit like a painting. Just wanted to hear your thoughts. Thanks in advance for any comments.

    Take care,

    J.

    Not sure I understand the "Flowers Dancing" part. The bright area on the right is too hot. I would crop out the right half and enjoy the blossomed flower without the busy stuff on the right.

    IMO of course.

    i agree, i like the flower "on top" of the dark tree trunk but the rest is very busy. and the left one is cropped to close to the top of the flower.

    Re: Flowers Dancing

    Thanks for your input. I agree that the right of the photo is quite busy...which is unfortunate because I like the pattern the flowers as a whole make. As far as the "dancing" part. That's what the image feels like to me...like the flower is throwing up it's stems in dance. But I'm odd...so...
