I love this shot -- the colours and texture are fantastic. Definitely a keeper in my book!

Nice shot great mix of colours and perspective
I would like to see a similar shot with either slightly more depth of field or a particular focussed subject flower.

Nice capture, like the composition very much, but I would have used more DOF to get all the flowers in focus, or less DOF to focus on just one flower.

Thanks for the comments!...I thought that i should have done a single flower, and more DOF after the fact!....The wind was blowing, so each shot had lots of blur!...I am going out again this week to try to improve..!.....I agree that a larger DOF would have added to the shot!.....I need a good Tripod, the one I have is cheap!...Although, I didn't use one for these shots!
