Colors are wonderful and detail is good. The problem, though, is the crashing wave in the center of the picture, distracts from the flora.

You've captured wonderful light on these little blossoms: the sun seems warm and bright as it should at the beach, but the image doesn't seem washed out at all.

The crashing wave does distract just a tad, but when I see the delicacy and colors of the flowers that seem gentle and bold at the same time, all is forgiven.
