Very pretty Kyle. I am not sure whether or not this would look better as a vertical or not. There is a small dust bunny just to the right of second from bottom row of petals. Really like the colours of flowers and bg. Dave

This one screams vertical to me. Very nice colors and sharpness. I also see the dust bunny.

I'm with Fabs...vertical all the way. Colors are intense and lovely. DOF is perfect. Very nice image, Kyle!

[Bruce Murden]

Lovely colors here, and with no other BG or midground interest, I'd go vert also... play on the triangular shape of the flowers and triangles of BG.

I think this is a lupine, or at least a relative. I've only seen them fully open, and it looks like it could be one. Nice catch!
