Bob, I like the placement and colors of the Snow plant. The foreground OOF leaves are a bit of a distraction for me.

[Steve Maxson]

Hi Dan. Nice colors and comp. I would agree with Jay about the OOF leaves in front of the snow plant. :S3:

[Ken Childs]

Hey Dan, this looks like a great subject but those OOF leaves are grabbing all the attention. If you could have bent that one stem in front of the flower out of the way, I think you would have had a beautiful capture.
