A beautiful family

Re-work with more room to the top and right

The original image

Critique Style Requested: Standard

The photographer is looking for generalized feedback about the aesthetic and technical qualities of their image.

Description

I love the flowers of dhalia. When I took this photo, about fife years ago, this family was adorning the flowerbed of a garden not far from home.
I chose this photo while walking in my archive because I feel some emotion when I look at it.
This photo too has been processed lowering and raisind shades and lights without touching any color.

Specific Feedback

Do you prefer to see more of the stem and leaves?

Technical Details

D850, Nikkor 200mm macro - f/5,6, ISO 64, 1/20 sec - Although I used a 5,6 aperture with a 200mm lens almost all is in focus thanks to the sensor parallel to the flowers.

Gigi: Aptly titled and superbly rendered. I love the progression of the blooms and the lighting is masterful. Wonderfully crafted image.>=))>

@Bill_Fach. Thanks Bill your comments are always gratifying.

@Sandy_Richards-Brown, you are absolutely right. I have tried to follow your suggestion giving more room to the top and right. Is the re-work right for you?

[Dennis_Plank]

This is really nice, Giuseppe. I like the repost with a little more room. I don’t think bringing up the leaves and stem would add anything to the image, so I think I’d leave them as posted. I’m liking this new processing method you’re using-it’s creating some fine results.

Rework is perfect. The lighting is awesome and love the use of shadows in the comp. I like the transition from young to old from left to right. Excellent presentation…Jim
