A very well framed image. I love the contrasts between the brilliant yellow daffodils and the dark statuary - they look almost silhouetted. The building in the background brings more interest and a nice tonality as well. The focus is excellent on the yellow flowers, which I think is key due to the subject of the challenge. Nice use of the light available. Only thing I can think of that might be a detriment is the fact that there is so much going on in the image. In many cases that would be a downfall but I think for the most part the number of different elements is well balanced. 8

I love daffodils. With that said, I would have preferred a shallower (?) depth of field to really put the focus on the flowers and not on the attractive but distracting backdrop.

Reminds me of Holland, don't know why but it does. Very nice shot, well composed and good DOF on the overall picture. Nothing that really makes it stand out from the crowd but still very nice overall. A 6

Love those yellow daffodils and the composition in the background provides an interesting visual backdrop for this image. I like how you incorporated the playing statues in the composition because it really invokes the imagery of springtime & playtime. However there are a few elements here that can make this image go from good to astonding! First off there is a tad too much going on in the background that is distracting from the main focus' mainly the yellow flowers and the playing statues - those buildings and barren trees draw attention away and are not overall attractive to look at. Perhaps changing the angle would remove them entirely or at least remove most of it. Having the camera literally rest on the ground and angle it up would have given the illusion of us looking up at the heightened daffodils and the playing statues that spring forth from them. Lastly at that angle there would be more blue sky visible that would add to the visualization of an open meadow/field 'feel' even though a cathedral typed building would be present in the shot. The cathedral type building would not be/is not a detractor from the image overall - and could add even more visual interest if more of the top half of the building complete with spires was present (an easy remedied solution would be to take the photo from a lower angle like I mentioned.
