aviary poppy

_

 

Was not satisfied with the color version also that bending poppy bud is distracting and it would have been a cleaner composition without it. So I was deleting the image when I thought "let me try to do some more edit through aviary". So I opted for de-saturation but tones where to much cold/grey/metallic so I added some warmth then I added some sharpness and blemish the image to have the poppy to pop out more. All this to try to have the bud poppy to not distract to much and let the eye to concentrate on the main poppy. It's a try, a test and I'm not sure I managed to get the desired result. I like the detail/focus of petals and the tones though. What do you think? Fell free to come with your opinion.
