Description
Not sure about this one, somehow all the tweaking didn't turn out the way I wanted it to.I like it, but not as much as the last few
All pictures were shot by me - incidentally, I bought my camera last April and did a ton of test shots and what not then hehehe

I like it. I think the soft tones make the flowers look really pretty and blend in with the background, which isn't a bad thing.

I don't know what you're talking about, but I think it's a great success! I love how th large group of flowers looks vivid and much like a watercolor against the softer background, and I love the repetition of the smaller flowers.
Love it!

I actually like this alot, very delicate. The colors work in my eyes, to me...but I'm no photographer or artist.

colors are always a matter of your own taste too, so if you like it, I'm glad
and you don't need to be an artist or photographer to say that you like something

Hmm.. well I can see you are certainly playing around with composition
I think maybe the reason why you're not as fond of this is the colors. I quote an excerpt from Itten: Elements of Color (I got it on Amazon, for my color theory class in college: [link] )
(pardon if this is long, but it explains better than I ever could)
"Two or more colors are mutually harmonious if their mixture yields a neutral gray.
Any other color combinations, the mixture of which does not yield gray, are expressive, or discordant, in character. There are many great paintings having a one-sided, emphatic use of a particular color and its expression has an exciting and provocative effect. Thus not all color composition needs be harmonious..."
but, I think here, because the two colors are not significantly vibrant enough or challenge the viewer, they are not harmonious or provocative. I'll quote further:
"colors whose effect is pleasing, we call harmonious... implies a subjective criterion of harmony. But the concept of harmony should be removed from the realm of subjective attitude to that of objective principle..."
"Apart from the relative position of colors [on the color wheel - i.e. - complimentary colors which yeild grey as a result of mixture] their quantitative proportion and their degrees of purity and brilliance are also important."
So ... okay I've just like spouted a shitload at you.
What this all comes down to: The purple here is the most important of the colors, and the green here does not hold any real yellow in the tone (yellow being the compliment to purple) which then leaves a very one-sided, cool color palette. Mixing in a few yellows might help you even out the color harmony here - since nothing is wrong with the composition or the elements themselves.
I'm sorry if this was long-winded, but it's better than me just saying "put more yellow in"
Hope this helps, darling!

LOL certainly
I've read stuff about color and learned some in school, but I couldn't put it to action it seems
thing is, I know what that book is trying to tell me and it should work...
the other thing is, i tried to put more yellow in through a color balance layer, but it looked off, too... do you have another option for putting more yellow in the green or perhaps putting more red into the flower (because red<>green...)?
I've been staring at it for 2 hours yesterday but couldn't come up with anything... not even what was wrong in the first place
so

Hmm.. would you mind me playing around with it and noting you an idea of what I mean? I'd just upload to photobucket to give you a peek. I err.. would probably paint in some areas, but it would be rough to give you an idea of what I mean so you can then do the polished work.
