To be honest the hyacinth is my least favorite flower but you seem to have created one that I find quite beautiful and appealing. Very nice composition and lovely presentation. I especially like the colors. Very nice work.

well composed .creative piece this has a some what senior feel to it I could have imagined my Granmother loving this .~
as seniors always seen to love Hyacinths.
Best on this image for me is the splendid background
would have been a stand alone beautiful piece of work if run to front of frame.~

The details in the Hyacinths ase wonderful so delicate & the vibrant green leaves ad a super contrast to the piece.~
Thanks Jinni.~

Comment from Angelheart The First


I have never seen a red hyacinth but they are really
beautiful.The shade of the red can only be called"caliente"and the lighting in the foreground adds so much to the leaves.If the background was different,I didn't see it but I have to commend you on this one.
Combined with the gorgeous stormy looking clouds,this is a new masterpiece.The book collection must be new also?
Great work and this is why you are number one!!
Angelheart :)

You are really getting the hang of painting flowers. These are some beautiful colored hyacinths. I love the way you have incoraporated the sky area into a wavy motion. The colors work well to make your flowers stand out well. Brilliant green of the pointed leaves complete this well. Enjoyed viewing. Good focus,depth, and lighting is great. Well done.

Nice creative work here and this is so natural and I thought it was a well composed photograph initially when I saw it.

Good initial impact and nice natural color tones.

Thanks for sharing!

love the hyacynths but the clouds look very fake and unattractive and a bit depressing. plants are perfect though! i never saw red hyacinths...? usually white or lavendar or pink...this is new to me!

    Thank you so much for the review, IC! I just changed it, give it a minute to upgrade and take another peek if you like. :)

    looks better, but the green sky is still a throw off. i would go with blueish sky with grayish and whitish clouds setting in. green is a compliment for red, but so is blue! either will make it pop...i just think the green sky doesn't quite work on this...but it is looking better!

Very nice digital artwork. Good composition, details, and colors, too. The details in the flowers is outstanding, and I love the colors. Nice work on the stormy sky, too. Good job.
