This would be my least favorite of all the florals you have posted this year. For me... the highly saturated solid yellows, center right and rear draw the viewers attention and they "hold it," with the foreground main blooms suffering from a second glance. Just my opinion, lets see what others may think.

Hi, Ned. Intense color is right! The one yellow tulip catches the eye and maybe could've been the subject flower surrounded by the red. A suggestion would be to try a crop from the top to squarish. A different comp for you, so hat's off for the adventure! :smile:

Thanks for the valuable feedback, I appreciate. I like the crop suggestion, too.

Excellent colors here Ned. I really like the intensity of the yellows and reds. I liked Catherine's suggestion about the square crop.

I'll echo, crazy rich color. Some good thoughts above, and I think it would be a little stronger if the foreground flower were in focus too (not easy to do, I know).
