Comment by postoakinversion:
i like this one. i wish the cars were closer together. this would look a lot better with less compression. It's less than 42K. The limit is 150K. Plenty of room there for better JPEG quality.

Comment by Artifacts:
Flowers will always be great subjects for photography. I believe yours was taken in overcast or shaded conditions and that is always best for flowers. I have some suggestions for improvement. I might choose a specific flower as the main subject for my composition and use framing and depth of field to highlight it. I would saturate the colors and increase contrast to make the flowers really stand out more. A shallower depth of field would work nicely for you with this image. Sometimes I even apply sharpening just to the main flower to highlight it more. Though this is not exactly like your situation here I have an example of some of these thoughts with images of the same type flower you can see here:

I'm guessing this woudl have worked really well in b/w or sepia. The colors in the ravioli are so much brighter than the rest of the image that my eye is drawn to them when the real interest is the collective image. Desaturating would help to keep the texture of the food while making it more in line with the objects.

Comment by mocabela:
The colour on this seems very cool/blue-ish... a little warming would do a lot for this photo, I think. It might also look a bit better if it the three main flowers were more centered (or more off center).

Comment by melismatica:
I gave this a four. The colors seems drab and the composition isn't particularly interesting. I can see what attracted you to the flowers but it doesn't look like much time or thought was put into framing (or lighting) them to show them at their best.

the greens look somewhat un-natural to me, otherwise nice shot.
