Nice Landscape. Great detail in the sky

nice image with a good bokeh--not too much, not too little. the problem with the image is the general composition of your subject. by centering it the way you have, you have created a horizon that is splitting the image in the middle, leaving your bokeh at the top and the under-exposed bottom of the flower below. it's a shame, because the water drops and textures in the lighter areas have a lot of promise. good luck!

Comment by avadon:
While the dew drops might look better if they didn't contain green hues (giving the rose a more ethereal placement) the green background is a complementary colour to the red and balances well.

That's incredibly lovely. Beautiful detail, great bokeh, love the drops of water (dew?), excellent composition, great crop...sorry, I'm gushing, I just really like this.

Comment by Bear_Music:
bokeh nice and luminous. Rose feels choked by cropping, to me.

Comment by Damian:
VERY NICE foreground, very sharp and great colors.
But (to me) it falls short in the Bokeh challenge, the bokeh background does not really compliment the foreground, it is just a color. Maybe a whole field of these flowers in the background would be more effective? I would have given it a 9 with better Bokeh, 7

Comment by Xilebo:
The idea is good, would have liked to see more contrast since it's b/w

Certainly the monochrome approach is best here.
