Nice job Christopher, hope the update was helpful.

It's nice to see spring colors popping up, but there are several things in this image that are distracting. The tree in the background totally takes away from your flowers. I would prefer a shot more from the left with the sky as the background. I would also consider getting rid of the small stems on the bottom center/right. Maybe even get a little closer to your main subject to draw the viewer in a little more.

Christopher, I think Amy's got some good suggestions. If this were shot without the tree in the background, then the blue sky would have created a nice negative space for the flowers. I really like the low angle, looking back up at the flowers. It adds a majesty to the image.
