Quite magical, and I love the strong red and yellow color, of the flowwer in front, against the soft greens of the wonderful spring DOF background.....

Now that flower has some pop. You captured it perfectly, I love the almost 3D feel of it. Nice composition, just the right amount of business.

Beautiful image. The red and orange of the flowers goes so well with green. I like the focus, the whole flower in front is in focus, but the grass, other flowers, are every so beautifully soft.

the overall feel of this is really light & airy. I like the composition alot, and the curves & lines set by the bg flowers & leaves.

Pretty flower.
I like the stringy wispiness of the greenery in the BG, and the soft focus repetitive patterns of the buds.
