Yes, I like the desaturated YELLOW one more. Good job of critiquing your own work.
I picked the image below for several reasons.
1. Our photo club is attending the annual Metro Detroit Orchid Show this Sunday and so it was time to revisit my photos from last year and think of ideas on how to challenge myself to photograph something different at this year's show.
2. I wanted something with color in the background and see high I would handle it. In my case, I wanted a portion of the purple orchids to be illuminated in the background because I didn't think the subject, that being the statue , was interesting enough to hold one's attention and I wanted the viewer's eye to roam around the entire composition and the two items shared the stage (the flower and STATUE).
and
3. I wanted to challenge myself using Topaz to see what I needed to do in order to improve the quality of this image since I never thought it was good enough to share.
Your reactions are always welcomed and appreciated.
