Greetings from the Critique Club
What a nice bright orange bloom you found. You chose just enough depth of field to capture the entire wildfower and still leave plenty of 'bokeh' background.
While you scored comparatively well with this image, I have a feeling that the bright green background may have been a negative factor. Sometimes, it helps to have a black cloth (or some neutral color) to use for background in garden shots. This concentrates the viewer's focus on the flower and eliminates competition from distractions. Just a thought, of course. But a bit of cloth doesn't take up much room in the ol' camera bag, and it does come in handy sometimes...
Glad you had so much fun with your flower photography on your trip.
Keep up the good work.

| Yeah, these do grow wild all over the place :) They look so beautiful in big bunches, and then they take over your yard. Beautiful photo. (7) |

| I love this wildflower, they are growing all over the place here (nickname is Devil's Paintbrush). I like your photo but I think it could use a little contrast or saturation just to make it pop a bit more. |
