Jay, it looks as though you wanted to document what you might see on a Kansas rural road. The flower is quite pretty but it's a bit overpowered by it's stalk. And if this is for Nature documentation, I think it's very well done.

Cheers,

Carol

A pretty busy image Jay but I do like the light and the energy in it. Don't know that you could have gotten the image and done anything else.

Jay, to my eye, the image is a little chaotic. It's hard to focus on a point of interest. Maybe shooting at a different time of day to tone down the distracting bg or moving closer to focus more on the nice flower in the center. Just some thoughts. :wavey:

Hi Jay :wavey: There is marvelous color light and color on the foreground flower and stem!! When shooting on the open road. especially with a 300mm lens. I always bring a colored foam board for a background . this will eliminate the busy B.G. scene :smile:
