The spring flowers are blooming in Cedar Canyon. I was out this morning with a light overcast defusing the light and shooting flowers. All comments and critiques welcome and appreciated.

Ditto: Comp is perfect for this subject, and you really took advantage of this light for excellent highlight and shadow details.

Richard, Like the slight off center placement for the origin of the three blooms in the frame. Strong light handled well without sacrificing any details on the petals. Nice !
