Meaning the leaves at the base of the flower, correct? Thanks for taking a look and commenting Red Sky.


Yes. I don’t think they add anything and somewhat detract focus from the prime flower.

Colorful, but I would judge this one as an 'almost,' lol. I'd like a little more blurring of the background myself (maybe try some Gaussian blur to taste?) Second, the yellow splash at the bottom (another zinnia?) is distracting to me, almost a photobomb, intruding in the field of green and pink/purple flowers. If it were positioned a bit higher or away from the subject flower, or blurred much more, you might get away with it. Not a bad shot by any means, but I would suggest playing with it a bit more, maybe even try 'painting' the background, see what you come up with. Lots of possibilities.

Thank you for your excellent critique. Your points are valid and I particularly like the photobomb quip.
