Yet to be planted, I couldn't wait. I just enjoyed the bunches, let me know what you think.

Thanks for looking

Seeing all the varieties of mums blooming at every roadside stand and nursery is such a special part of fall! I like the various stages of blooming you have captured in this image. Good lighting and details too. Somehow it feels like more of the top blooms need to be showing and less of the green on the left to make a pleasing comp. Hope to see more images from this "bunch"!

Very pretty arrangement of flowers Robert. Nice detail and beautiful yellows. I like the assortment of new and old in the set. Well done!

Robert - I have been wanting to make a frame filling photo with many different flowers but finding them in good shape and close together has always been an issue for me.

My feedback mirrors what Carolyn said. Its all pretty cool, may be bit too much green on the left. I am sure you have more compositions in this Mum series.

Sweet yellow mums. Nothing purtier!

I agree on the comp. It is tough to get a frame filling arrangement that is balanced. Looking forward to more!

Robert:
Lovely flowers. I agree with Carolyn and Ram about the 'empty' green space on the left; perhaps a square comp may work better.
