I like the vivid colors and the way the top two buds and center flower are sharp against the oof fence. The old fence works well for the bg. I would not mind seeing more of it.

Bob and Charly - The fence is blurred enough to even come across as a fence but the muted colors there really help pop the Daylilies which are your main subject. Fences do make some nice background and I agree with Scott that more of the fence would also make for another interesting composition.

I really like the colors, use of the buds for framing the one lily in the center and of course how you pulled off so many elements in the frame

A bit complicated, but a really good comp and colors make this an eye pleasing image. I agree that more of the fence would be good. :smile:

A lot of elements in this image, but it works because of your excellent comp. The colors are beautiful and the OOF fence is a nice bg. Very nicely done!
