I like this simple, stand alone portrait Sandy. Well shown detail and the purple in the BG really brings this all together. Great eye and capture.

Sandy: Superb plane of focus management at this shallow DOF. I really like the color palette as well. Very nicely done.>=))>

Good POF for the wide opening! The grass colors and the echo of them in the background is wonderful.

Exquisite colour, Sandy, both on the grasses and in the bg ! Love the way this gets sharper as you approach the tip of the grasses.

Sandy what a lovely comp and color combination. The large version is stunning, my only minor nit would be a tad more contrast with the BG to make it pop a wee bit more.

Expert use of tones and color. One couldn't conceive and paint this any better.

Sweet mix of colors. The soft pastels in the background are especially pleasing. I like the delicate details in the seed head too. The only thing I might change is the purple spot in the lower right corner.
