Greetings from the Critique Club!...
COMPOSITION...I think you've done a wonderful job of capturing the feeling of spring and displaying wild plant life. I don't know if there were other angles that could convey the abundance of the flowers better, but you picked a pretty good viewpoint, where you can see flowers from foreground to back with little hinderance. The wild grass growing in between the flowers, especially in the foreground, is slightly distracting...but your only option is to individually pluck out the foreground ones...Perhaps the bottom right corner could use a nice big flower since there's so much space there, but its a minor detail...
TECHNIQUE... Some comments (but not many) wanting more DOF...I think a small/large DOF will either work, but if it is going to be small, I would place more of an importance in having the foreground completely in focus than somewhere in the middle... Lighting's great, slightly backlit? The light on the flower is traced around their edges giving a very pleasing effect... |

| Pretty. The camera angle gives the photo depth and brings the focal point to the flowers near the foreground. Nice work. |

| Does this taste as sweet as the little purple clover? I remember pulling off the little petals and biting on the white area on the bottom. It tasted real sweet. This looks a little saturated to me. Maybe a little bright on the reds, but that could be natural, I don't think I've ever really paid much attention to red clover. Focus and clarity are ok, but the large out of focus one in the front/left is quite bright and quite out of focus, that it draws my attention. The green/red combo is very nice to look at. Overall a nice shot. ~Heather~ |

| Beautiful, I see these alongside the road ways and never realized how pretty they are close up, a very nice photo. |

| Lovely flora. The reds and greens match well together. The decision not to include a border was good. |

| Not only a pretty flower I don't think I've seen live, but it played a significant role in medical history...now, where's the four-leafed stem? With a little (hyperactive) imagination your view resembles a shot of those Easter Island statues... |

| I like the contrasting colors. I think this would've been a more effective pic if the DOF was a little greater. |

| a third cropped off the bottom of this would much improve it. lovely colours! |

| Oh how I wish more of these were in focus. On the other hand, the fuzziness emphasizes their colors more. Still, nice low point of view that puts drama in to the image. |

| excellent color contrast... i think an even more shallow depth of field would work very nicely here also... - setzler |

| Beautiful. A postcard-worthy shot. You feel like you could reach in and pick one. 9 |
