My what a wonderful welcome to spring. Beautiful flower and excellent presentation. Only suggestion would be to eliminate the one petal on the left edge. Thanks for posting this.

Beautiful work Keith. Excellent bg and color as well as a great supporting bg. I do agree with Patricia about the leaf on the viewer's left. Superb detail on the subject as well.

Terrific color and nice sidelighting. I like the blades of grass along the bottom of the frame....gives a sense of the environment the crocus is living in. Agree with previous suggestions re: removing the petal that's along the left edge.

Truly beautiful Keith. Great color and pose. Also like the BG. The petal on the left doesn't bother me, but cloning it probabaly woud help the image.

Keith:
Excellent comp and a very bright and warming image :jump: . If you decide to clone out the OOF petal, you might also want to re-crop to give a little more room to the right border.

Keith: Jaw dropping gorgeous. One of the best crocus shots I've seen. I don't know that I would clone away the leaf on the left but I might soften it a bit. Fantastic shot. >=))>
