Flowers at Dusk

Spent a nice evening at Chilliwack Lake watching the sunset. There's not alot of flowers in my gallery, mostly rocks and trees, so I figured I'd mix it up a bit. Any comments or critiques would be appreciated.
3 image blend for DOF and dynamic range.

Thanks

Dean

A very dynamic image Dean. Your blend looks great. The background may be a little over saturated, but nothing major. The one thing I notice is the one flower in the middle pointing straight up appears to be out-of-focus or smudged or something. It's hard to say at this size, but that's just how it looks. I like the shot, I think it is strong with the exception of that one drawback.

Very nice. Love the cold tones. Perfect foreground! Areas of improvements? Maybe get the camera a little higher so the flowers don't compete with the middle ground. Also that would keep the upper rocks from touching the base of the mountains in the distance.

Thanks for the comments. The wind had picked-up quite a bit and after taking a few shots this one had the most "in focus" flowers. At ISO 400 my camera was reaching its' limit and shutter speed was only 1/10 sec.
I noticed the rocks touching the base of the mountains after :frown: . I thought about cloning them a bit but I wasn't happy with the results. :toast:
