The photographer is looking for generalized feedback about the aesthetic and technical qualities of their image.
Description
The closest natural thing to Christmas color around here is this Hydrangea. After holding onto its flowers all spring and summer and through a couple of light frosts, it is now going out with style. So I’ll let it say Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to everyone!
Specific Feedback
All comments welcome!
Technical Details
Focus stack but not a heroic one. Minor tonal tweaks in LR and into PS for a little more tonal drama. Cropped for composition.
Critique Template
Use of the template is optional, but it can help spark ideas.
Diane - great title! This is just what came to mind when I opened this. Perfect comp and colors, and your usual exquisite detail. The raindrops are very appealing.
Well done!
oooh this is so rich in color and texture. I love the bright yellow morphing to green and the varying shades of brick. Quite a good study in how these plants cope with the changing seasons. Merry Christmas right back atcha!
Thanks, @SandyR-B, @Bill_Fach, @Dennis_Plank and @Kris_Smith! Wouldn’t you know, this was even better the next day, with more droplets after a light overnight rain! I was too busy with holiday stuff to post it but did get a picture with a different view. Have time now to work it up, and to try to catch up here as an astro project is sort of winding down.
