Is this to your taste?

[selig1656]

A piece of art , well composed and the PP is well accomplished , that feel good serene emtion is evoked so well. I love the delicancy in which you emphasized your subject and surrounded it with a soft treatment .

Of course I am late to this party, and yes, it is to my taste. In fact I was editing my shots from Indiana and I was thinking of you all the time when I came to the last shot of a building...it is not exactly a dreamy image like yours here but different because it was a porky building...watch later as I will post it.

P.S. I also thought of you when I was processing the others and I made them more stronger colours than I usually do...see how much you inspire me? Thanks for that!

Ohhhh... that is so lovely. There's something about the mood... it captivates me.

I'm with Izzie, sorry late to the party, but I am so glad I didn't miss this, it is really wonderful. To 'see' this image in the environment when many of us would have walked on by, is the Art of the Photographer, really well done.

I don't think anyone has specifically mentioned the reflected light on the water. That really makes the image. It would be a much weaker image without. And yet again, for me, the primary skill is in being able to look and to 'see' that there was an image there to be captured.

The white vignette is maybe a little strong for my taste. But you, Binnur, are the creator of this image and it was you like that matters.

It is a very lovely picture.

Hi Donald. Having such a comment from you is very important and encouraging for me. Thanks for looking and commenting

It is a very lovely picture.

[Chrisclick]

Mmm.... surreal, I like it!

[Ndukes]

Now this is really nice Binnur. I would normally have issues about the 'fade' effect around the edges but it really works here. Great image. It would actually look good unframed with no mount also.

[rtbaum]

I like it just the way that it is. So now it is settled!

[purplehaze]

Lovely, Binnur. More, please.

[Ziggy]

Job well done Binnur. Would love to see a larger size.

[Saorsa]

I really like the concept and the image. I played with it a bit in Faststone and increased the contrast slightly and thought it looked a little better.

Then, for some odd reason. I did a horizontal flip and decided I like that better. I'm trying to figure out why and can only come up with the idea that our reading is from left to right and that makes the lean of the stems uplifting. I don't know if that makes any sense but I am interested in how we develop a perception of an image and often flip my images around.

[Barbara Ponder]

Binnur, It is indeed a lovely image! Very dreamy!

[Mike Buckley]

This would make a great note card!

I wasn't going to comment until I have access to my desktop monitor, but I just have to chime in in response to Donald's comment about the importance of the reflection in the water. My eye is immediately drawn to the bud at the very top and that reflection is so close to the bud that I find it a bit distracting.

The mood of the scene is great even on a small laptop monitor. Another possibility is to use a negative vignette (white or light grey) that eliminates all detail at the sides.

[FootLoose]

Is it to my taste? Sure is!

I like the light. I like the colour. It evokes emotion. I could sit and stare at this and let my imagination carry me away.

The only suggestion I have is to soften the gradient a bit. The transition feels a bit abrupt to me, particularly on the rhs.
