An artistic image, Bob. I like the mix of still life and natural flora. Well seen/captured.

A pretty trio. The only suggestion I have is that it might have been better to have the front flower in focus and the back-most slightly blurred.

The colors of the cone flowers roe great and the three of them make a nice composition. The greenery at the top is a bit distracting to me.

Bob - Nice opposing lines from the flower stems and the man made perch there. If possible the bud along the left edge could have been avoided.

Nice combination of lines, textures, and colors. The bench top makes a good neutral background to set off the bright colors of the flowers.

Beautiful color, nice comp, and excellent detail. Good pp work as well.

Bob:

Pretty composition. The 3 blooms against the parallel wooden beams work well.

Bob: I really like the comp and elements. I don't mind the bud on the right edge but I think it would be more effective as a supporting element if it was completely in the frame or else crop it away completely. I think I would vote for keeping it and giving it a touch more room.>=))>

Wish my purple cone flowers looked this good, either mine don't like my soil or the bugs start eating before they fully open. I too like the contrast between the flowers and the bench. I like the bud on the right, but agree that seeing all of it would be better.

A very neat composition, Bob. I like the way the straight lines of the bench work with the curves of the flowers.

What a great composition! I agree with Richard that the greenery on the top looks a bit noisy. Although I've yet to start messing with focus stacking I would assume this would be a great candidate, what do you think Phil?
