If you take more shots, I'd ask that you look at the difference a simple diagonal framing creates, and give attention to including complete blooms in-frame.

wow - love what you did to them - doesn't look like the same picture at all.
I'm still trying to figure out what happens outside the auto mode. I will take your advice the the next time it's not raining in the afternoon here!
Would love to know how you got this effect in the processing! Share your secrets please oh wise one!!
