Creeping Black-Eyed Susans
This image is of some creeping black-eyed susans that grow in my rock garden. Feels and looks like spring is on the way!

A great combo of elements Wayne. I really like the setting. Maybe a bit tighter would eliminate clutter. I am not a big fan of the green foliage in the lower left. Maybe more of a diagonal created by the small flower and the two large ones eleminating the lower left might create a better flowing image.

Hey Wayne, Nice flowers. I especially like the half open one, and I can see Brent's point about being a little tighter. Thanks for posting!

Brent, I've sat on this image for awhile now, I always liked the elements but there was just something about it that always stopped me from processing it. I think you nailed it on the head, it was there all the time and I just couldn't put my finger on it. The foliage in the LL definitely doesn't add anything to the image. Thanks for your insight. :wavey:

Wayne, I think I'll go alnog with Brent on this one. I do however think the flowers work well with the rocks as a background. :smile: Thanks for sharing!
