A Flower (of some sort!) **Re-edited**


I really haven't got a clue what flower this is (I know it is native to mediterranean type climates though). This was taken on my recent trip to Cornwall (in one of the biomes at the Eden Project).

Thank you for looking.

Hugh

Thanks to Chris and Bill for pointing out the flaws in the image.

I decided to go back to square one with it (I thought it had some potential) and have redone it.

I think this is an improvement - WDYT?

I just want to add that I was listening to The Modern Lovers when I was editing this image and I think that must have skewed my judgement a little emoticon

Hi Chris,

Modern Lovers are in a similar style to Pavement - should check them out a great band from the 70s. Obvioulsy not that good for photo editing to though.

Back to the drawing board again then (or should that be graphics tablet) - I am determined to get this looking good because I think it has some merit.

Thanks for the feedback

Hugh

Pavement as in the band responsible for Carrot Rope? Awesome song!
I like the second edit but I tend to like very strong images FWIW.
