Desert Primrose

I'm drawn by the single flower on the right. Did you happen to take an image of just that one? Think I might remove it for this image since it has drawn my attention away from the subject. I like the surrounding environment giving a sense of place.

A nice little mini landscape that shows the harsh environment of these beautiful flowers.

Lots of interesting bits here, Scott. I'm with Patricia with respect to the lone flower on the right. I could make a very interesting subject but seems out of place here. I like how sharp the three flowers on the left and all of their surroundings are so I'd explore crops focused on the left 2/3rds. Those three long blades of grass arching forward add some good eye movement.

I'm with Patricia. A clone and a crop would still retain the sense of place and improve the balance of the photo.

Beautiful focus on the two main subjects - and a wonderful "habitat" shot! I'm not particularly bothered by the flower on the right. Cropping off until that flower just disappears might enhance the focus on the two "main" flowers, but it would also send a different message, less natural-habitat-like. My only suggestion would be to decrease the illumination on the sandstone, so as to make the flowers and foliage more prominent - but then I like dark pictures.... .... so this is just a matter or personal taste.

IMHO Scott I wouldn't change a thing, love how you have captured this little piece of the environment and shared it with us.

This is very nice. The flowers look so beautiful and delicate.

I personally like the flow of the image right across from the bunched flowers to the single one at the R - I just might like to see the latter sharp as well. Lovely habitat feel to this - a sense of coming across the flowers on a walk and pausing to look !!

Scott: What a great find and a fine capture. Glad you remembered to look down during your travels. >=))>

Great sense of environment. The blossoms are lovely but I like the graceful arching grasses as well. I do agree the single flower is a bit distracting.

Hi Scott,

I like this diagonal composition. The right most flower does not bother me and I like the image as is..........................Jim

A nice surprise for sure. Scott, this is just great the way your capture shows the natural habitat and habit of this beautiful plant. I like this image so much!

Like the mini-landscape comment, so the single flower RT fits in this out of the box comp.

I most like the beauty & color of this desert flower, in sharp contrast to the harsh environment.

Nature's performing miracles again
