Great composition. Interesting arrangement of foreground aligns well with the strong vertical lines of the fence. This was underscored, probably due to a prejudice against natural lighting and soft focus (the "70s" look! :) ).

I really like this! It's kinda quirky and fun. The overly large, in-your-face tulip really makes this work with humor and appeal. The bright highlights behind the fence are its only true fault for me.

I like the elements here, especially the red/orange tulip, but they don't work together for me. I'd consider doing a perspective transformation to get the fence boards to be vertical and then cropping out the gap and knot on the right and the dark leaf on the left.

Great depth, but maybe over sharpened.

Love how the fence contrasts to the colors of the flower's. I also like the composition with the larger orange in the foreground and the three white ones to the left. Good luck -7-

Te lighting is a nit flat and the DOF is very shallow. It appears that only a sliver is in focus and that sliver looks oversharpened to me. JMO
