Interesting comp Ken. It feels very dynamic. I like the range of colors and shapes too. I would not mind some extra sharpness out of the center of the flower.

Ken, I can see how you were drawn to this scene. The bud on the right side of the open flower is exquisite; both the color and the detail, It looks as though this was your POF; unfortunately IMO, the left side is over-exposed and lacking in detail.
Perhaps the solution might have been a different angle, and I'm not sure.

Ken, nice mix of color and form. An unusual comp, with the slanted horizon (almost gave me vertigo when it opened ). I'm undecided as to whether that is a good thing or not. Also not sure about the bright patch of sky; seems to be grabbing my attention more than I would prefer.

It's different and in this case, different is good. I like it. I probably would tone down the sky just a tad.

Interesting image Ken, especially the pov. Everything here seems to me to compete with the bloom. The bright sky, the matrix of blue flowers, the tilted orientation of the image and then the softness in the bloom itself. I don't know that any of that is problematic for me, it just makes for an unusual and very interesting image.

An interesting POV Ken, I find myself tilting my head to the left to follow the lines. I( wonder if a diamond crop might be effictive.

Ken: Intriguing and interesting comp that works for me. The overall presentation would be better if the center of the main subject was within the DOF but this is still an effective presentation. Nicely done.>=))>
