I just set it to auto levels and cloned out some leaves. but i don't know really know what a free study was so i put this on there, it probably isn't very original since they're just flowers, but these are last minute. take it easy on me.

I love the brilliance of this, you might want to try it cropping about the right third though to put even more emphasis on those flowers.

I really like this. Hopefully people aren't seeing this as just another floral. In my top 5.

Very strong composition, but the focus is a little on the soft side for my taste. Good use of complimentary colors.

Wish you had a deeper DOF to get the flowers further back in focus as well. Nice blue/orange contrast.

Fantastic colors, but the focus is just a tad soft on this one.

Wow! Love the bright colors and and contrast with the blue sky. I would have boosted the green in the stems a bit (afterall, it was advanced editing and this was allowed).

Composition is nice. Visually, it may have been stronger if you broke off the two stems on the right side of the picture that dont have flowers.

Goodluck!

heavy processed looking
hard to see if any thing is in focus

Nice colours, the air is a bit noisy, but still a nice shot.

Colors are blown out and hurt the eyes, composition is not as interesting as it could have been if subject had been photographed from a different angle

This is appears a bit oversaturated and OOF. The idea has potential. The dramatic angle and color contrast works nicely.

The blooms themselves do not seem as sharp as I would perhaps like them to be. The foliage in the bottom left looks sharpest. Lovely colours.

The colors are lovely; and the poppies look festive against the sky. Unfortunately it's hard to find anything in the photo that is in focus. And that's a major problem.

Wonderful colors and perspective. Needs to be sharper with more depth of field.

Blue is a little too blue in this shot. Depth of field a little off here.

Composition is nice, but it needs to be sharper.
