Sulphur Potentilla (or Cinquefoil)

Taking a break from Acadia images. This image was made this evening along my local stream here in Eastern Pennsylvania.

Nice comp, Ed. I think I'd be prone to remove the top flower in the back as it looks like it's sticking out of nowhere. The other two seem connected to the flower and I really like them compared to that top one.

Nice detail and excellent focal point as usual. The BG feels a little dark to me, though.

I like this composition very much, Ed. I think the center of the flower could use some more sharpening, though.

[Mike Moats]

Hey Ed, I agree with Jules on removing the op flower. I don't mind the dark look.

Nicely composed frame Ed. Especially liked the BG here - the random scattering of shades of greens.
