I really like the three diagonal ferns in the background near the flower . . . a tighter composition might really have been magic. It's very pleasant as is though, and my only minor nit is that the slightly out-of-focus leaf in the upper RHC is a little too prominent.

Nicely done Tim, the buttercup really stands out within the greens.

Nice assortments in the frame - Buttercup really stands out so nicely

. A small highlight in the lower left corner can be darkened in processing if you so wish

Tim: I like the scene and exposure. Good choice going with the polarizer as well. This would work a bit better for me if it was slightly tighter to eliminate the yellow bud on the bottom and perhaps even the little blue flowers a bit higher up. Nice find and a fine capture. >=))>

Hi Tim

The buttercup against the ferns , makes for an excellent composition. The detail is superb.
