PRETTY lady! You say she's in the spa. I remember (from my three weeks in AU, some 20+ years ago) that spa could be a fancy word for bore. Nice warm water, sometimes warmer than warm, that came from deep below the surface. Interesting odor too. But oh, so comforting.

Okay, enough reminiscing, back to the image at hand - as others have noted, you pulled out and made important those ripples that set off the pretty girl, beautifully. It's easy to see you are no stranger to color and are not afraid to use it, which you do, very well.

You know, each of these, the original and this one, is beautiful in its own way.

Just two delightful treatments of a good starting point.

Charming subject matter for a solstice image.
I liked the treatment you gave it, with the blurred out
fence pointing the way to the brilliant sun-flower.

Glad you also showed this here. It's an interesting
and compelling approach.

the moodiness of this shot with just a bright touch where the creatures are
in focus is so very exciting. You're a past mistress at this Roz. WHAT
will you do when the last wasp goes away!!!

Yes, I also think you got exactly what you were looking for in this really
exciting image. It's an excellent interpretation of your photograph.

I suppose I wouldn't be me if I didn't find something to nitpic about. In this case, the frame surrounding this excellent image appears to be competing with it! Perhaps this 'closing in' effect is what you want. But I do tend to look at the frame again and again, pulling towards it instead of looking at the image.

I admire the ingenuity that you put into this and think you are
on the right track. (but)

If it was mine, I'd probably try to integrate
the cute b/g objects into the composition more. And make the twirly things
in the flower more a part of the overall picture. right now (forgive me) I
think you have a lot of very pretty parts of the puzzle that don't quite
come together yet. Please keep playing with this very clever idea...
(Or not... as I say, it's just my opinion)
