Very nice comp Scott. Were you able to get any of just the BG set? The front set distracts just a bit to me , but not enough for a shot killer.

Scott - Great drooping composition for the Virginia Bluebells. Nice background to go along.

The frontal bunch does not bother me much from a compositional perspective but a marginal separation between the two bunches is something I'd have liked but its definitely a very minor thing.

Nice work as posted Scott. I'm with the Nathan though, looking forward to the post with just the back set.
Well done & have a great weekend!
