Delicate Balance

Amongst the many grand scenes that we get to visit are these smaller ones which are just as impressive. I was attracted to the dappled light hitting these tiny flowers. Appreciate your thoughts on this one.

The lighting here is amazing. Subtle dark shades of green. The flowers have just the right amount of luminosity. I'm less excited over the placement of the 3 flowers. I thin a 4x5 vertical of the leftmost flower would have been better.

This is fabulous Sairam!  I've spent time looking for comps in similar little fields of clover and what not.  Not only did you find a great subject, but you were blessed with the dappled light as well.  Dark in the left corners, but it works given the fading light.

I'm fine with the arrangement of 3 flowers - far better than two, or four... ;-)  This is quite lovely and intimate.  Well seen!

Very nice color like the way the flowers stand out amongst the sea of green clover.  The light is very pleasant.  The detail is superb.

I really like the dappled light, Sairam. Overall, I find the image a bit dark, but maybe that's the moody look you're after.

I really enjoy these kinds of images. I think the composition works very well, and has nice balance. I could see this brighter, but no much. The flowers and the light are the stars, here. Nicely done!

The flowers are nicely placed in the composition.  I like the way that you have used light and shadow to direct the eye in the composition.
