Colorful image with a pleasing background that lets the image pop. Nice work.

Congratulations on showing the beauty of this "weed." It's easy to show the beautiful, symmetrical structure of a single flower in a macro shot, but very difficult to put together an attractive composition showing multiple flowers and leaves, without the plant getting lost in a confusting background. Well done.

A good composition of this flowers against a suggestive BG. I love the photo John.

Wayne stated it better than I could. It does remind me of eating the greens. Mom would gather and cook them, but I did not care for them. enlightened
