More flowers at Wallula

[EOBeav]

I made a return trip last night and was disheartened to see the balsamroot up there looking so pitiful. I think it's due to the cold windy weather we've had all spring. Nevertheless, this is what I got. I'm looking for your comments about composition and editing, and then anything else you can think of to add to the discussion. Thanks in advance.

It's a beautiful capture.

The only downside is that I feel having the edges of the flowers chopped off is a but distracting. Just needs a bit more "room" around the the yellow flowers on the sides.

I agree with Richard here beautiful capture!

I really like your pp of this the colors are great.

I also agree with the cutting off the flower is distracting and takes away from your photo. Cutting things off in images was or is one of my biggest challenges. I have to remind myself to slow down and look closely.

Also it may have a tiny lean to the left, maybe it's just me.

Nice work

Hi rick.

Nice colours in the sky which brought out some interesting colours in the ground. You even managed to get detail in the rock, well done. The colours in the flowers look fantastic too.

The flowers getting cut off is a pain, and to be honest I'm not keen on the rock being dead centre either.. Did you get one here in landscape format? It would be nice to see this with a little more room than this.
