This is a nice image to work on.

At this stage of the class you handled this one just fine..

I have another work flow for later in the class we can use for this image.  The issue here and in many images similar to this one  is "Significant Shadow and Highlight"  Where the line lies is really up to you...the image can handle more contrast and if you wanted to take the blacks down more you certainly can.  On the other side the details in the flower petals are hard to come by.  It is the hardest part of the image. 

Solid work overall...

Good work Kessi

Thanks you.
The hardest part to do in all these images, is not to loose detail. That is the bit I struggle with a lot.

I'll be posting the method later that helps the details...stay tuned...We need to get to masking first..
