Elisabeth - You are on a roll - loved the forget me not shot posted previously and this one also looks great with pastel shades. I like the strong focus on the center pods while giving a wispy feel to the rest of the frame with a wide aperture.
A crop from the right will make for another good composition I think. Adding some space to the left can also be considered.

Beautiful image! I love your choice of POF and DOF. Beautiful pastel colors. I would like more space on the left, but this is still very nice as posted.

The gentle, bright colors make this really attractive. I also like the spacious feeling the the oof area on the right gives. For me, that helps a lot in conveying the bright airy feeling of spring.

I also find these flowers fascinating, Elisabeth. I have several varieties and they are such a welcome sight with their very early bloom times. Wonderful colors in this. I like your focus on the center with the rest being more blurred. Lovely!
