Pushing Up Daisies

I have my thoughts on this one but I'd like to get other's opinions if I may. I'm trying to see if my thoughts jive with groupthink ;)

Nice shot! Just needs a slight boost in contrast, sharpening and perhaps remove the spider web. Great background blur in this shot!

IMO.. it seems a bit plain to me. The background is fantastic but the flower and it's composition in the photo just doesn't scream at me.

I agree with kat on this one...maybe try a bit of Orton?

Thanks for the feedback, everyone.

I might try the Orton look if I can figure it out. Most of my editing has been pretty simple using Picasa. The Orton stuff will take a little more effort as I'll have to get better at using GIMP.

There's an Orton script for Gimp.
