A lovely grouping to find and photograph Albert.  I like your choice of the buttercup as the prime focus of the image, as its color would have dominated regardless.  While I understand the desire to include the tiny white flowers on the right, everything in the image seems to be stretching to the left and it feels like the flowers are crowding that side of the image to me and there wants to be a little more room there.  Your shallow dof was a nice choice here.

I agree with Dennis. The tiny white flowers on the right, while pretty enough are a drag on the rest of the image.cool

Albert: Wonderful scene superbly captured. I'm back and forth on the small flowers on the right. Yes they do pull the eye but they are an interesting part of the environment. Nicely done>=))>
