Hi John,

I like the comp on this one. The light yellow green flowers and green basal leaves keeps the plant prominent in a very busy scene. Also, the diagonal elements of the leaves and stick in the BG help move the eye through the frame. I have learned a lot from studying your images. Keep them coming crying

John: Very nice image of these in their environment. I think I would crop from the top to eliminate the small patches of open sky and the prominent horizontal branches. >=))>

Thanks all.
Bill- Reckon you're right . I can see what you mean about the branch now I've seen it. Easily fixed.
