Does anyone else fret over their uploads for hours? I have at least 10 versions of this image and worried: Is this one cropped too closely? If I show more of the flower, will it be boring? I loved a square version I had, but it had awkward negative space that I filled with text – which is always an ongoing battle as to “should I or shouldn’t I?” and in the end seemed too contrived. How do you set a floral image apart from others without clever propping or text overlays? I often wish I could just grab one of my images and quickly upload it and not worry about what others think. But in the end I think we all care, even just a little, what others think of our work. Maybe some day…
Since this one is mostly about the texture, please check this out large and on black - I promise it's worth the click! View On Black
By the way, this is another macro wonder: This tiny blossom is actually just little over 1/4 inch in diameter! I’ve included a less cropped and differently treated version in the comments.
