Good stacking. A few minor missed focuses on the upper right flower. The bottom flower has an easily removed black speck (bug?) at about seven o'clock immediately adjacent the center.

Very nice, Jim. My only suggestion is to remove that speck mentioned by Phil. Excellent work.

Jim - Nice trio with the stacking brining all the 3 into great focus.

Works just fine for me but I am somewhat on the fence with respect to the floating feel.

Jim, A simple, clean and gentle image. Lovely summer wildflowers. I agree with Ram about the floating feel.

Charming image, Jim, with a nicely graded bg and exquisite yellows. Looks like the flowers are dancing in the air !
