Can't remember quite what I did to this, as it is an edit from a while ago. I think my own critique would be that I would wish for separation from the two flowers on the left, and maybe the blade of grass not intersecting the one on the right.

Maybe that one grass intersecting the tulip on the right could go, but I like the balance & the look provided by the other 2 leaning together. The soft, white, translucent circles in the bkgd also add good balance. The lines of the grasses make me think of delicate dancers reaching up to the sky and wavering in the wind! Very graceful. Like your previous image of the bleeding hearts, I really like the softness of this and the contrast of red flowers against varying shades of green.
It all works for me, Jackie. The blade of grass on the right tulip seems to flow with the flower and ends just in time.
The tilted position of the flowers, and the beautiful curves of the leaves make this a charming image. Excellent processing. I agree with you about that one leaf--it is the kind of thing I often fail to notice until too late. Beautiful colors. Nice bokeh.
Enjoyable image that makes me think of spring and the Tulip Festival, this winters been a bit colder but as winters go this hasn't been bad... I wouldn't have even noticed the blade of grass if you hadn't mentioned it,,,well done
I think it's beautiful, Jackie. I love the treatment (looks like slight Fractalius?) or textures. I don't mind the two tulips but I think I'd like to see a little separation between the left most tulip and the leaf. The leaves are sensuous!
