Nice flowers, but where's the landscape?

It's a shame those power lines are there. In Expert Editing maybe you could have editted them out? I'm still voting relatively high anyways.

out of focus!

Looks like a Texas roadside. A touch out of focus but I like the perspective. I'd have removed the power lines since we had expert editing.

Just doesn't fit the challenge as well as the others I'm afraid.

Too bad the power lines are visible. Love the colour palette.

should have framed it without the phone lines-no central focus

Nice, but the power lines are distracting.

So many good shots have been ruined by power lines. With the liberal post production rules (Expert Editing) it would have been well worth the time to clone them out. Otherwise, nice shot.

Its nice but it would be nicer without the wires ;(

Powerlines: they are the bane of my (and possibly every photographer's) existence. Maybe you could have turned a bit so the powerlines would have been out of the shot.

intimate. Nice to keep the sky within exposure. It does look like there is a fair amount of noise up there. Some work with NI or other methods may have helped this. 5

should have cloned the power lines out but looks nice.

Because this is an expert editing challenge, I wish you had removed the power lines. Without them this is an excellent photo. With them, a 5.

power lines are a killer - esp. in expert editing challenge. Nice color, point of view.

i like the use of the trees to frame the image - just wish you would have cloned out the powerlines 5

Noise. But still a good shot!

Unfortunately the power lines distract from the main composition - should have been cloned out in an Expert Editing challenge

good picture, but are you thinking about buying a basic SLR camera?
  Photographer found comment helpful.

The sky is a bit noisy, and the plants in the immediate foreground are a bit blurry and distracting. However, the flowers that are in focus have nice colour.
