Albert, really like the POV and the DOF choices you made. Really lovely comp. Only nit is theLLC is a bit dark for my taste.

At the risk of repeating Bob for the second time in consecutive comments, I like everything about this except for the LLC.

I see no darkness in the LLC :confused: . Looks great to me as presented, Albert -the hint of strong yellows through the pink window sills is particularly eye catching :toast:

Beautiful image Albert. I love the pink and yellow washes and there's just enough structure to hold my interest and let my eye come to rest. I like this image very much, no suggestions.

Albert, I think your images are getting better and better. This third is the best of the series so far. I love how the soft implied diagonal lines of the out of focus background flowers echo your subject.

Nice job.

Dreamlike, Albert! I do indeed like the "softness of the lines."

Nice image Albert. My only minor nit is the dark spot at top center. Even so, a very nice shot. I find Mums to be difficult subjects, I've yet to photograph one worth posting. :toast:

My eyes are really happy to walk around the whole image, Albert. I like most the display of the other four mums, the scattered yellows.
Cheers.

Albert:
Like this soft dreamy image with mainly the three primary colors of yellow, red (pink) and green. :toast:

There are a lot of these softly lit and colored shallow dof flower shots showing up here lately, and all of them are great. This one is no exception. Excellent image, Albert!
