Nice image. I think the left hand (right as you view image) could be refined a bit.

I like what you did here ! Give the frame a bit of structure, or a shadow, it will pop out more.

Sniderme [lvl 6] [vp 1000] [ 36]:

I like it. I was confused by the lack of shadow being cast by the upper leaf but it appers now that it is the light source. Good job.

Great job on this - I love the idea behind it .I think that might be stronger though without the flowers that you've put inside the frame... and leaving the larger one on the outside. Putting them inside the frame implies they are part of the scene within the frame - which means you'll need a bit more work to integrate them into the scene.

I like it. Nice image.

hilleke [lvl 35] [vp 2000] [ 608]:

Lovely image ! Try using blue for the frame (the blue from the parrots), the black is a bit hard.

docx [lvl 8] [vp 1000] [ 71]:

The image is very lovely and a great job, but the parrots are lighted from the back while the flowers are ligted from the front...

Just tried to do something slightly different.

All my own images except for Obsidian Dawn & Anodyne Lightstock brushes used to create partial background

pearlie [lvl 8] [vp 124] [ 0]:

Very cool and yes, different - sort of a la Georgia O'Keefe. I actually have a skull's head in my garden with a frangipani (tropical flower) growing out of one eye! LOL

Nice idea

jebsays [lvl 7] [vp 0] [ 13]:

Like pearlie mentioned, very Georgia O'Keefe - but.. that's ok with me - works very well. Colors work amazingly well.

Sniderme [lvl 6] [vp 1000] [ 36]:

Not sure who O'Keefe is (will Google), but the lack of shadows doesn't seem to coinside with the strong light source.

ronald [lvl 16] [vp 1000] [ 69]:

Nice idea and good execution, however you might want to add some shadows from the leaves on the skull.
