Yes Ishbel! The petals are so velvety and the highlights are so well done! I see what you mean about that bud. When you matte this you could come in more and crop off a little of that bud. I think it is the negative below that bud that is the problem. There is not much room there to add anything and I think cropping it would help.
Gorgeous reds, Ishbell, and I really love the composition. You did a wonderful job making those petals appear velvety. Great job.
Thanks Pam. Although I think the truncated bud on the right was a mistake.
