John, a very pretty spring display, captured and presented very well. My eye keeps being drawn to the 2 horizontal stems, so I guess, imo, they should go away. Cheery!

Sandy- as soon as you mentioned it it hit me between the eyes !!. Heres a another BG which I don't like much. Funny colours so the black seems to work best. SWYT
Cheers

I agree with Sandy. I am not a fan of black backdrops, though I agree they do a good job of making an image stand out. However, I much prefer the second background, which puts the whole image in a natural and warmer setting.

I am impressed with your stacking!

John I like the composition and the true colors of these nice little flowers. For the horizontal stems for me only the central is a bit disturbing. I love the photo.

One of my favorite spring flowers. I like color so I prefer the more natural looking background. All these spring blooms give me hope that spring is coming! Thanks for posting this.

John, very nice composition. I'm kind of in the middle with regard to the background. I think I would like the second background, but maybe a little darker. Nice image!
