Albert: Another beautiful presentation. I would be tempted to crop from the top to get rid of most of the empty BG and decrease the height of the frame about 20% and fill it with the flowers. Still pretty strong as is. >=))>

Albert:

Your crocus series seems to get better and better and I have enjoyed seeing them. Sorry to hear this is the last of the series.

I like what you have presented here and agree with Bill about the empty space.

Very nicely presented Albert. I love the feeling of such a large group of crocus. Nicely done.

Lovely colors and composition, Albert. I especially like the muted tones and depth of field.

Albert, lovely group and delightful colors. Your Crocus series is wonderful and I like the first one “Crocus close-up” the best. Thanks for sharing.

This is really delightful, Albert ! I think the darker blue, half closed flower gives a particularly good point of focus - the dof all round is perfect, as are the tones. Wonderful !
