I love how the desert comes to life in the spring.

A lovely vibrant scene that is suffering from either being OOF or blurred by camera movement. That aside, a nice photo

The desert images I've seen this have been loaded with great blooms, and this is no exception. Unfortunately, the softness of the image is detracting from the overall beauty.

This spring especially. This hardly looks like a desert any more.

Fantastic bloom, Laura, although the image looks a bit blurry. I do think a tripod and a polarizer filter would work very well in this scene.

I think you are showing the colors quite well here, but agree that the overall softness keeps it from being it's best. A tripod definitely helps with image sharpness.

Wow, great colors and framing. The placement of the components makes for a nice balance and provides the viewer with a lot to stare at.

I agree the pic does look out of focus or blurry.

I too am guilty of taking photos during mid day, but it’s generally not the best light for depth and texture.
