So I have a question. Would you like this better if it were brighter and if so just a little or quite a bit brighter?

Some people have asked what this is. Well I prefer to keep it a mystery so that you can enjoy the patterns. If you really would like to know, send me a message.

Thanks for looking.

Aloha,

Bob

    I think that it does not need any more bright. I think that it is a soft image with a few delicate colors and this is what he needs. Give more bright would break the delicacy of the image and even his balance.
    For me it is a perfect image.

    I like the color and texture as it is but if you want to increase the contrast it might be more dramatic??

    Dynamite textures!!! Perhaps a boost in contrast would make it "pop" a tad more... ? Either way, it's a lovely image!!!

    Wonderful abstract.I love it the way it is, but would be interested in seeing a tad more contrast just to compare. I love the mutedness of the palette.

    Niki, Thx for the comment and you are right one of the prints came out with more contrast and it does look good. Not sure which I like better.
