Very nice Albert, I very much enjoy scenes like this, excellent light and comp, and I especially like the warm feel to the scene. Well done.

Beautiful, Albert. I like both the comp and your management of the focal area and dof.

Aren't wild monards dangerous, Albert?

This sure does present a fine warm summer day feeling.

I like subtle, simple scenes like this and this one is very nice. I like your colors and the lighter highlights in the background.

A few things I might try, just my preference: Lower exposure slightly (I usually like images darker than most), increase DOF on the flowers (wish I could see more details in more of the pink flowers), lower my camera angle just a bit so I have more stems and less empty space up top.

Just my opinions. Anyway, very nice. Also, glad to see you have an appreciation for these simple shots. I love em. Look forward to seeing more from you as well. Hopefully, I can soon catch an image worthy of posting for you to see.

Beautifully done Albert. Strong comp and the dof decision works very well for me. Love the warm mood and simple elegance. No suggestions on my part.

Great work on this ,Albert. It's a beautiful simple scene complicated by decisions on POV and DOF. I think you nailed them both.

Very nice Albert. I really like your chosen DoF. My only nit is that I might crop just a little off the left side. The image exudes an excellent "feel".
