Johnny,

I like the concept and it is very sharp. There is a lot going on here with all the colors. I found it hard to focus on one area.

Johnny - sorry buddy but I am not too keen on this one. The colours are very bright and contrasting and I don't think the double frame enhances the image. I think I am trying to say there is too much going on and my eyes won't rest. Most of the flowers are sharp but the pink one top left keeps getting my attention because it is not in focus, this then makes me go looking for further similar ones and I would rather be concentrating on the flowers that are in focus.

I agree Jon - I hate it- but it sold as a puzzle pic !!

Hi John. I can see why this would be a good image for a puzzle! Lots of bright colors plus good exposure and overall sharpness. Like David and Jon, I think the image would be stronger if there was one area that really stood out to hold my eye. Also, you might consider cloning the pollen, etc. from the black areas between the flowers to give the image a cleaner look. :S3:
