Aimee this is an interesting composite. I love the feathers and the model. What does not work for me is the green leaves on the right. They are just to well focused with a strong rich color which pulls my attention very hard to the right edge of the shot.

I am not sure what to suggest. I would at least blur them slightly and tone down the color, but it might be better to just have the plain BG like in the upper left. I am just not sure without seeing what would work the best. #1499417

Hmmmm.....I'll see what I can do to lessen the leaves. This is not a composite so I can't take them out completely. Thanks for your thoughts Mike! #10427004

Jeff E Jensen November 20, 2012

I agree with Mike on the leaves. Otherwise, I love the rich colors. #10427364

LIkewise...or..."What the boys said"! As always, your portraits are knock-outs. Love them all. #10429295

I love your peacock feather's :) I love the rich colors here. And I think the pose is fantastic.

I was thinking the photo looked a little over sharpened, but since no one else has mentioned it feel free to ignore me. LOL! #10429419

Humm . . . now that I'm looking at it again I don't think it's oversharpened. But I do think the tiny spots under her eye (in the shadow area) are what was really bothering me. #10429423

Ah Aimee, for me life is far simpler. I just see a pretty young lady What leaves! #10430003

Aimee, I love your creativity! You always come up with really unique shots. I really love the feathers and the pose, but I also think the green leaves are a bit distracting. #10431957

I love the exotic look to this. The colors are fabulous and are placed perfectly. The leaves don't bother me too much, but I wonder what it would look like if they were toned down slightly. I don't really find them bothersome because my eyes are glued to all those fabulous colors and those eyes! #10433067

Okay so sorry I was offline for awhile...was sick. But now I'm back and have put all of your thoughts in mind when taking this one back into PS. Let me know what you think. Thanks! :~) #10438589

Elaine Hessler November 29, 2012

I like this a lot with the toned down leaves. But, my eye keeps going to the edge of the leaf by her right eye. I don't know why it looks funny to me-it didn't bother me in the original.

I still love the colors and the comp:)

Hope you feel better! #10438608

Aimee C. Eisaman November 29, 2012

Thanks for keeping tabs on this one Elaine. Here is a fix for that...let me know if it is better for you. :~) I'm feeling better today and hope to be 100% by the weekend. #10438659

Elaine Hessler November 29, 2012

Gorgeous! #10438784

Michael Kelly level-classic November 29, 2012

The tone down worked great for me Aimee. Now the right side does not pull on my eye. I think the last version looks great! #10439109

Jeff E Jensen November 29, 2012

Yup, the last version works! #10439421

Aimee C. Eisaman November 30, 2012

Thank you for coming back and letting me know Elaine, Mike, and Jeff! :~) #10442076

Teresa H. Hunt November 30, 2012

Love it!! #10443527

Aimee C. Eisaman November 30, 2012

Thanks Teresa and I was with you that it was too sharp. :~) #10443784

Hope you're feeling better now, Aimee
Well, for me, I love the first version. I love how rich all the colours are-I wasn't pulled by the leaves away from the model-I thought the bright green leaves complimented the peacock feathers perfectly-everything looks so bright and vivid and fresh! #10445853

Looks great! Hope u are feeling better! #10446147
