Very nicely composed, Yun ! This is an original take on the crocus ( I didn't recognise them immediately from the thumb ) - an angle which works really well for me. I like the movement in depth across the frame.

Nice composition, Yun. I like the dof you chose and the angle is perfect to show off this clump of crocuses.

One of the best Crocus images I've seen!! Lovely comp, isolating just the right flower in focus against the others just enough oof to provide a great chorus of the joy of Spring. Beautiful, even lighting, soft light. Gorgeous!!

Nice white color Yun. I also like the way that you have filled the frame with flowers.

Beautiful. I like how you have isolated one bloom with a nice supporting cast all round punctuated by streaks of green. :toast:

I like your placement and focus on sharp orange center of the flower on the right. Meanwhile, the supporting chorus of flowers and leaves going gradually softer across the frame creates a fine sense of warmth. Nicely done.
