Critique Style Requested: Standard
The photographer is looking for generalized feedback about the aesthetic and technical qualities of their image.
Description
I try to photograph this plant every year one place or another. In my early days of volunteering on the local prairies, this was listed as an endangered species. There was one small local population and a dozen others in Oregon and Washington combined. Largely through the efforts of my fellow volunteers and the organizations they worked with, it was delisted a couple of years ago. While not everywhere, there are large populations in several prairies in our area (and a few in my own prairie).
Specific Feedback
I’m interested in how the transition from foreground to background works for you. Being a stack, it feels just a bit abrupt to me and I’m not sure I know of a way to avoid that.
