Wildflowers at Sunset

Found these along a Maine roadside early last fall, as the sun was getting very low. Probably would have been wiser to focus on the flower lower right, but I didn't, and it is what it is.

Magnificent bokeh! I think the focus is fine. The photo has enough other fine points to make up for that very minor discrepancy. What lens were you using?

Thanks for your visit and kind comments, Dewman. This was taken with the kit 18-55mm E-mount Sony lens.

I think the focus point is fine because it leads us into the scene...good job!

Treepusher, (artist extraordinar) my hat is off to the flowers, the sun and to the Maine Roadside... oh yes to your camera.... all you did was press the button!! Great results, but do get rid of that harsh black frame.... strange that the camera knew exactly how to follow the components of great composition** .. could it be that you had something to do with it... if so congratulations to you in the highest.
This one photo can be used as a teaching aid for how to mix perpendicular lines, triangles, circular structures. There is large triangular balance of the lower right cool green and the complementary color hot upper left. So many elements have come together here in this photo.
Besides that ugly black frame, ugh! There is one element that is a perhaps get-rid-of... that is the vertical aquatic squiggle 2/3 from the left. The second aquatic brownish element is perpendicular to the incline of the green and says the photo ends here... excellent touch.
Just downloaded it, big file so there staring me in the face are several photos within the big photo!!

Very appealing, Randy. Love the bokeh and the warm colors of the background. Some Glow?

Thanks, Bob. At this point, any photo that shows either a flower or color is a welcome sight, so a bit of work on this--admittedly not a great shot--was worth doing, lol.
thanks for your visit and kind comment, always much appreciate them!
