This is my first venture in the flora gallery and I hope you like it.

Some wild flowers in a meadow local to where I live. All comments are welcome and thanks for looking.

The shallow depth of field is working well here. Nice.

Delightful image. I like the grasses mixed in the the daisies. I like the shallow DOF with the focus on the mid-foreground flowers. I do find the oof flowers in the llc a little detracting, but overall, I think the is excellent. :toast: :wavey:

Gary - Wonderful mix harmoniously organized in the frame. I like how the lone Poppy breaks the good looking monotony in the frame.

Its one of my desires to make a few photos like this one. Love it.

lovely scene! My only suggestion is perhaps a little bit more contrast...but over all this is quite nice!

The poppy stands out so nice amid the more pastel flowers. Nice dof

Wonderful splash of red Gary. This is superbly seen, captured and processed in my opinion.
