Your images never fail to impress Endre. However, I wish that you only featured one of the flowers in this image. My eyes are constantly jolting back and forth between the flower on the top and bottom.
Thanks, Eric! I appreciate your input. Interesting idea. I reworked it based on that. Let's see what the feedback from the others here is.
All the best,
Endre

Friend Endre', your original image here is quite lovely and, in my opinion, every bit up to the high standard which you yourself have set in your black and white series. I would not include it in my favorites, but it is absolutely deserving of inclusion to your final publication.
Having read the Eric's comment, then Janice's, I agree with her preference for the second one. In thinking about why I immediately felt a preference for the second, I realize it is that the first, as Eric alluded to, has more elements within the composition to dilute the viewer's (my) focus on the essence of the flower's beauty and reduce its emotional impact, while in the second the essence of her beauty simply cannot fail to be noticed. It is as a lovely whisper in a very quiet room.
With a hearty for for the second one and warmest regards,
Thank you, Cal, my friend! I agree now with all the others and have replaced the original shot with the new one. It is always good to get constructive suggestions. I simply fell in love with the bauty of the little flower in the corner and (even though I knew it was a distracting element) I couldn't bear not to include it. Having more rigorous eyes than my own look at it and reinforce what I already knew but wouldn't admit is a great help.
Warm regards,
Endre

She stand on her own quite well, I'd say. She was lovely with her family in the first shot, but this is HER moment to shine!
I like the new version, Endre.
Sorry to weigh in at this late moment, but I think the first version could work as a large print. I like being able to look around an image. The second version is also nice with it's simpler composition.
Thanks, Tim! So glad you like it! The new crop seems to be a universal hit, so thanks for the further validation

Thanks for the comment, John. I still think there is much to be said for the first version but in general, simpler is better anyhow. I'm glad you like it.
All the best,
Endre
