I like the idea you're going for here, but I think you need to do three things. The first two are related: get a little closer and find a slightly different angle to create a little bit more of a balance between plants and city. Don't know if it's possible or not to have done so. Last, because the flowers are in shadow, forcing your flash to go off (again, if possible) would have brightened them up and helped them match the rest of the shot. Right now, they're kind of dull and lifeless even though they're the main focus of the image.

I wish it could've been framed where the car wasn't in view. Otherwise a nice idea.

Good capture. The skyline in the background provides context.

Nice premise. Maybe brighten up the flowers a little with more light or touchup...

Great depth of field. I think a fill flash might have helped get the flowers a little brighter.

Lovely shot. Foreground appears a bit dark to me, otherwise, a great shot. Photo 8 City 8 total 8

I can see you love nature and wanted to include that in the City Life theme. Nice!

Great use of DOF. Would have been nice if the sun was hitting the flower. The dang sun just never learns to pose! If you have access to this location at other times of day, you might want to revisit it.

Nice. I wish there were a little more focus in the background...I'd like to see the clouds...tell that guy to move his car too. LOL. 8

Nice flowers :) The flowers seem to be the subject of this photo and the city is just an element of the background. I, personally, would have tried a little stronger city element. = 5 - jmsetzler

I like it - the color, DOF. Maybe could have been a little brighter, but that's my only con. Other than that, great job!!
