    Love the overall scene with framing, grasses, flowers and colors. That OOF eye peering through adds for me. Only minor nit is the wish to have tall stalk entirely in frame. Love this canvas overall. TFS

    I like the low angle, setting and the one peeking through the vegetation makes the image for me. Was it at Marco Island? Nice image Joe.

    Joe, this is a beautiful frame. In part because of all the stunning flora (uggh, spring seems forever away) but also because of the way you captured the partner just peeking through. Fantastic on that front!

    The stem coming up at right and the three flowers leaning in actually help give perspective and balance to the frame IMO, like that too.

    While I love the colors in the FG, I feel like maybe reducing brightness a touch could help the subject(s) stand out. But other than that, and maybe a slightly lower sun angle it's a keeper for me!

    Hi Joseph .. lovely low angle .
    Works for me presented .... maybe lighten the eye shadow a bit to fake a lower sun position .

    TFS Andreas
