Nature Testing With Cyclomens.

Focal Length 124mm.

I need to know if I should leave the petal on the lower left or clone it out. I have looked at both versions and leaving it in the image seems to allow for a very pleasant

balance. Without the petal, the flower looks incomplete as does the image.

Thanks very much for any and all helpful hints and suggestions.

I would leave it in and generally like the image, but I do have one unrelated comment: around the petals (particularly visible on the left ones) there's a very noticeable colour halo, I suppose you blackened the background with a brush tool? It might be better to give it another polishing pass if you're in the mood for some painstaking corrections

Serkevan, your feedback is greatly appreciated.
