Albert, the real magic to this image IMO is that the OOF background echoes the colors of the Black-eyed Susan beautifully. I also like the fact that there's an echoing green OOF stem in the background. I can't address "cramming." Nathan is king is that arena. I see one tiny nit and it would be easy to correct; that's the small yellow OOF "blob" to the left of the flower. I would carefully use Content Aware Fill or possibly an overlay layer to carefully paint that small section to match the green. I suggest a layer because you can address the blend mode and the opacity of your overlay color. And there are other techniques to use to if you agree that the spot should be address.
I really like the sharp center of your Black-eyed Susan.
Cheers,
Carol

Albert:
We have this in the garden near my work and I have tried capturing these with no satisfaction so far. Your comp is really excellent, like twirling dancer. Love the bg and overall tone of the image.

Love this Albert. Striking composition and image. The bg supports the subject wonderfully. Gorgeous image. No suggestions on my part. I do love the mood of this as well.

I love your dreamy "cram" shot Albert. The BE Susan appears to be floating and yet stands out from that gorgeous complimentary BG.... Very Well Done!

Lovely flush of colour, Albert, and a beautifully sharp centre. You've caught this at just the right moment - very fine image.

Albert, I played with these flowers just the other day and can say I like this much better than any I shot. The flair of the petals and soft same colored bg really make this speak.

Wow , Albert. Suprises after Surprises from you. Fantastic depth of field and some nice leading lines on the petals. Background really makes the main flower stand out. Some killer work this

Looks like a very happy whirling dance in the midst of a multitude of other dancers. Beautiful image, Albert! Joyful and bright, uplifting, fun.

Sweet capture Albert. These are not as easy to capture as they look to the naked eye. Nice color without the yellow becoming overpowering. Nice cram!
