Beautiful color palette Krunal. Seeing the shapes of the rock outcroppings at the top, I can't help but thinking of mountains and I think that works very well for your theme. My initial reservation was the placement of them so high in the frame rather than on the top vertical third powerpoint. I'm assuming you were trying to make them less dominant in the image. To be honest, I'm not sure, that for me at least, that's possible. I think the outcropping will be the dominant image element regardless of where it's placed. So compositionally, I'd probably try to get it onto a power point and even consider placing at the bottom to anchor the image. My two cents (smile). I like the image as posted.

Hi Krunal, Bearing in mind that all we're expressing are opinions, here's mine...

I like the concept.

I think the placement of the rocks in the frame is perfecto.

However, that depression in the middle has got to go and I'm not sure that cloning is going to cut.

Looking forward to more compositions of the Buckwheat.

Beautiful tightly grouped bunch of small flowers works well to me. Pat makes some good suggestions.

Krunal:
Exceptionally fine florascape and lovely color palette. The rocky outcrop reminds me of Japanese gardens where rocks are integral parts of the design. Like this a lot.

@Pat
even i wanted the rocks to be at the power point but here's the problem i faced, jus after the rocks there was a green cultivation (think of peas not sure) so that's the only amt. of leverage i had to get the rocks in :frown:
i thik if i'd an higher vantage point i cud have pulled it of?? (but there was none there)

Understood Krunal. It's a good looking image as posted. Gary is right about it having a similarity to a Zen rock garden and I like that too.
