This is a striking image that caught my eye right off the bat- good use of color and it's a strange concept. I like it.

Beautiful, I love sunflowers...

Congrats

so beautiful

Good idea but I don't think the border is nesessary.

Good work... lose the border

wonderful work author... just an IMHO.. maybe thicken the Stems like a real Sunflower? you know, to show the heaviness of blossum,,, right now the stems look a bit weak to hold such an enormous seed chamber (Just thinking about the realism of the image) Not really necessary (just trying to help)... GOOD LUCK!!!!

EDIT: AWESOME with the thicker stems..now they look secure... great job author!!!

nicely done -- looks very real

Well done. Nice image

Fixed stems. Thanks for your comments.

great work.gl

great job

nice transition

love the changes.. more realistic now. a lovely image.very natural

very neat author.. I work with sunflowers all the time and unless your vase has about ten bricks in it, it's going to fall over..hehee.. You might want to get a more matching Sunflower back.. they are new growth and the the one in front is at harvest.. not that that's a bad thing.. just very peculiar.. you seldom get them in tandem... but very nice image.. good luck

I suggest you lighten the top of the shadow furthest from the vase...blur a bit more and remove the part showing near left base of vase. Give it a setdown shadow directly underneath the vase too. Not too dark...Good job, author.

really nice

mmmmh.....the colors of the original sun flower are more red than the others flowers. Can you adjust it? Now seems only 3 different photos one over the other.

real nice

Nice idea, but to me the stock image doesn;t fit in witht he other sunflowers, it seems a little on the red side, but like i said, the idea is very nice. Good luck!

Nice pic
