Pansy in Simon Teabowl 2 and 1

























Attempt 2 at trying to marry everything I think I've learned
lately. Attempt 1 is below. I tried a second take because I
thought I was still too cautious with the first one.

Bonjour ma chère Lorraine,
Le choix de cette petite "pensée" n'est peut-être pas anodin ! ou sans le savoir elle vous aide à vous souvenir de tout ce que vous avez emmagasiné...
Je suis fascinée par votre travail méthodique. Vous avez une grande maîtrise des couleurs et des lumières. J'aime beaucoup la toute première photo qui nous montre une petite pensée en pleine lumière... telle une star qui ose se montrer et qui se détache de l'arrière plan. La seconde est plus "timide". Elle se montre avec moins de vivacité.
Un excellent travail... Gros bisous.

These both are lovely, Lorraine! I like how you took up the level of contrast in the second one and made the background more gradated. It seems bolder, more assertive.
However, the first one is charming as well...softer, more delicate and the uneven table surface (higher on the right)solidifies it. Both are fine examples of edge and color temperature variation.

I love the color and how the background enhances the flower - beautiful! It looks like you got it all together to me.

Hi. I'm going with the first one!
'Abandoned' is just perfect.

Wow, Lorraine! I love # 2! That beautiful background and the green in the shadow really make it work. Fabulous!
