I agree with Robert, great point of focus & DOF that makes it work very well.
Another winner in this great series Albert!

Seriously, Albert, you've got so many fine crocus images in the series, why don't you send me the file and rights to this one?

I really like the POF in the center of the front center flower and the receding softness elsewhere. Just perfect. The colors are perfect as well.

This is a great image, very artistic. The colors, comp., and dof all work very well together.

Dreamy and painterly look to this, Albert. Similar to the others and just as well done.

Agree with other comments. This would look picture perfect w/o the little bits of grass.

Well done.

Beautiful Albert. The soft, colorful tones create a light airy feeling.

Albert - This is nice as was the entire series. It usually looks simple but these grow so close to the ground and that by itself poses a big challenge to shoot these well enough.

I think a crop from the top to eliminate the blank background also makes for a good composition but this is nice as well.

I really like the soft light and colors, and your POF. It's just lovely and I have no suggestions.
