Fiery atmosphere, small heron or egret, kind of the opposite of "keep your eye on the birdie."

I love the scene but not the processing too much yellow

I will touch a hundred flowers and not pick one.

Comment by greigner:
Brilliant and unique coloring. Could use improvement with focus (see those droplets on the blossom).

Comment by wbanning:
Nice processing choices and aspect ratio. Effective use of f/8 in close-up range creates a nice balance of sharp and soft through the foreground/background planes.

*Hello from Sid and the Critique Club*

A very appealing image that meets the challenge well.

The beautiful bold colours here are very appealing and striking against the OOF sky background which is all very simplified in keeping with the challenge brief. However, I am somewhat confused by what I am seeing here, the OOF flower in the foreground is throwing the composition as a whole off balance it would have been better to exclude it or use a smaller aperture to get it into focus. It throws me because it is in front of the right hand flower which is all clearly in focus yet none of this is. It doesn't appear to be close enough to have such an effect. The flower on the left appears to be at least on the same focal plain yet all of it is in clear focus, its all very confusing.

I think an even more effective composition would have been to just have the left and the right flower without anything else at all. I particularly like everything about these two flowers. On their own these two alone would have had much more impact, I love the viewpoint of both of them. The two in the middle spoil the overall effect.

Thank you for your submission, apologies for the delay in critique, Sid
