Gorgeous image Visanthi --- I love the blooms and the brushwork in the background adds a lot. To my eye, a bit more space on the left would be good.

Thanks Gary.

I did a very tight composition here and when I was processing I felt that it needed space so, I added canvas on the right and on the top but on the left I had no choice.

Looks more like a painting and like a very beautiful one.
Great composition. Fantastic colors.
I would prefer the left flower not to be clipped but this is just a very minor thing.

Very nice technique. Nice color. I too think more room on the left would be nice with a full petal without the line cutting through it.
There is another variety of flowers called pinks that are like little carnations and have a very nice fragrance.

Such beautiful colors and soft mood. The yellow centers are a lovely accent and the background matches perfectly as well. I don't mind the left side so much. Perhaps it anchors the flowers.
