This is very pretty Denise, I like the colour and focus you have here. I might be tempted to crop a little from the top and a hair from the bottom:).

Thanks Jackie, sounds like a good idea.

Denise, I really like the subtle framing of the BG and left sdie greenery, and your good focus on the left flower center. Nice comp with the placement, and I agree with Jackie about a little cropping.

Beautiful cosmos, Denise! Great job on saturation...magentas can be a real bear to get right and these look really nice.

Other than a small crop as the others suggested, you also might want to look at blending the right side a bit so the divide between the ground and the greenery is a little more subtle and less of a hard edge. I know it's blurred but a bit of cloning the one to the other might make it even more gradual so your eye stays on those beautiful flowers.

I love Cosmos and this image of them is a beauty. I like the sharp flower mirrored by the out of focus flower.
