Colors and form are beautiful. What spoils the image for me is the previous two prunings. The leftover bark is in front of a flower that should start the centerpiece group, which I find distracting. Photographically, I don't think much can be done about it. I myself get so mesmerized by the beauty of flowers that I often don't see the twig or branch that spoils an image until I've downloaded it. Thank goodness, there are many chances to redo.
Thanks for your excellent feedback, Edie. And THAT is the elephant in the room! I may try darkening it but for now, there it is.
