Very good, John. A lovely composition with really cool light. I also like the background a lot.Maybe a touch more room on the bottom, but that’s all I can think of.
Stunning photo. Love the warmth of the background which draws you eyes down to the details of the flowers. Great composition and treatment of the subject matter!
Beautiful colors. Flowers well captured with adequate dof to get all the flowers in focus. I like the background with the matching colors as opposed to a complementary color. I think the contrast on the flowers brings them out of background. Very well done.
John: Before seeing any comments I was going to give it an A rating with the only thing holding it back even the least little bit was the need for a tiny bit more room on the bottom. Now that you’ve addressed that it goes to a solid A++. Superbly crafted image. >=))>
I’ve come rather late to this, John - a very striking image ! The working of the background sets off the flowers extremely well, and they are beautifully composed and lit. The added area at the bottom helps too. Many congratulations on the Pick !!
