Little things in life ought to be appreciated

[maybetomorrow]

Hello, everyone!

As I am pretty new to DSLR photography, feel free to critique all aspects of the photo and especially the colours. When I was shooting, I tried to take a photo that would evoke happiness or at least would make someone smile. I would greatly appreciate to hear your opinion regarding colours, composition, etc.

Hello and welcome.. Just my unprofessional oppinion and no hard feelings..

i see the plant is not totally in focus...the leaves are sharp but not the whole flowers. some part on the right a bit off focus.. easily corrected by using a smaller aperture... try f/9 instead...

the colors are a bit too warm..

and take note of the glaring background lights... that really spoils a good shot..
