shot this flower in my back garden beacause of the way it reaches up like a hand. I've desaturated the background and left just the buds in colour. Not sure if I like this effect What do you think?

heres the original:

thanks,

tom

I'd like to see the green part in the middle coloured too... the red seems too disconnected, and if you don't see that they're connected you kind of lose the context.

I like the colored verison. Strange flower!

BW gets my vote

 

[Karalee]

Id like to see it with the green also, the reds a bit overpowering, maybe if you desaturated it a tad?

I prefer colour version... This is an odd plant

Soryr man. You lost my attention . It didn't so anything for me except bug me with the bad colouring job.

I'd like to see some green in it too. It's empty.

LMAO - well it goes to show that it is entirely a matter of personal taste - I love the B&W version.

Vote for the black and white her, but green's suggestion would likley win my vote overall

thanks for your comments everyon, heres a combination of some of your ideas:

 

[Corry]

Much better.

 

[John E.]

Wow! Quite an improvement, looks good.

The bud looks 3d, really stands out.

I prefer the full color version for the moment. I don't care for the very thin white line on the far left edge of the lefthand flowers. It makes it look like you did a bad job of desaturating.

Im sure if you zoom in and use a lille clone brushing...
