Hi Scott,
I like the parking lot BG which makes the zinnias and butterfly pop. Maybe a little more space on top and on the right. The bottom edge of the flower is very close to the bottom edge, but the 2nd flower seems to provide some balance to the composition...............Jim

Very good details and colors Scott. I think the second flower adds well too.. and it also fills that parking space nicely
Looks like you had some good light. I struggled yesterday with a pipevine around noon. Of course, being mostly black didn't help much either
Well done!

Nice lighting on the BF and I like the Zinnia in the bg. The colors are beautiful. I would like to see more space under the Zinnia the BF is perched on, but it's still very nice as is.

Guess you'll have to pick that parking lot up and carry it around for a background, Scott....It works very well, providing a fine moderately dark, neutral color that really lets the bf and flowers show off. This is a beauty with excellent details in the bf and front flower with the 2nd flower providing a good sense of place. The bf is positioned perfectly in the frame.

Scott, beautiful colors, great background. The eye is very sharp. Excellent DOF/shutter speed management.
