Slender St-Johns Wort, the buds look like red gems to me.

@Wraptile I did haze reduction (which is great) and some shadows/highlights, but very conservative. I think it did improve, but I need more practice. Darktable looks very powerful.

And today's paintings. I have lots to learn about acrylic paint, but I like them.

Picture shows two paintings, done in a rough style,, both depicting women with their eyes closed, head tilted backwards, with religious attire. Colors are harsh and dark.

@Wraptile OK, great, thanks, I'll give it a go!

@Wraptile Thanks for the feedback! My camera does not support raw, only jpeg. I usually don't do any postprocessing or even cropping, I just resize the image and post it.

But I have Gimp, Krita and Darktable, so I'd like to give it a try. Could you explain in a bit more detail what I should do?

«There's a horrible conceit gaining ground that websites present someting called "content". I like to think of it as an amorphous, tofu-like substance. You cut it to whatever shape you want, and then pour some kind of syrup or gravy called "social" on top to give it flavor.» – Maciej Cegłowski

This is giving tofu a bad name! I was a vegetarian for 20 years. Tofu is great.

@fitheach Hence the "probably" :) But yes, it's lovely.
