Beautiful radiant colors and sharp detail with the fg flowers. This is very nice Bill. To me this a considerably better than the previous one because there is a clear point of interest here. The shallow depth of field works very well for you here. Good job.

Exquisite Bill! I enjoyed your prior post, but I too prefer this one for the reasons Igor noted. This is a wonderful mix of candy, and the use of DOF is perfect. The large view is a treat.

Great display of color, Bill. The shallow DofF works really well too. Nicely done.

Hi Bill,

This image works so very well for me because of the emphasis on the the beautiful foreground flowers. The out of focus background works so well here in providing that emphasis, but also providing some wonderful color.

 

Sweeeeeeet image

Man, that is some fantastic color, Bill.  And the composition with shallow DOF makes the colors work in a more coordinated way.  I just sent the link to this to my daugher and her family, who moved to Frisco last year, to urge them to get out an see this area in person!

Beatiful Bill.  Love the plane of focus and the crisp clean colors.  Excellent.

Bill, what a terrific collection of wildflowers.  I really like your positioning of what I think is a ragwort, the sharp focus on the blooms at the bottom, and the gentle fading of all the colors into the distance.
