you may need a slight clockwise rotation on this image to level it up just a bit :) - setzler

I don't know if you got closer than your camera can focus, because the only thing in focus appears to be the wooden background.

Poor focus and main flower to well centred, looks very untidy.

Greetings from the Critque Club!...

COMPOSITION... Although I like the idea of shooting an area from suburbia from a unique vantage point, compositionally the image can be stronger.There are some elements that immediately catch the eye - the car, the street sign, the little house on the lower right, but all these things compete for my attention and no one specific element is drawing me in... More probably due to the jumble of trees, wires and shadows. Perhaps one solution would be to introduce a dominant element in the photograph to detract the rest of the elements, such as the looming figure of someone looking down at a multitude of houses. A kid racing down on a skateboard? At that point, you could probably crop out the car and other extraneous elements and focus on your dominant element.

TECHNIQUE... Nothing amiss here. The shot could be a little warmer. Sharpness and focus are good.

Overall, a good concept, would take me some scouting to find a good vantage point. Just needs a strong focal point with a less cluttered background.

Great image. I really like how you focused in on one flower while the rest surrounded it. The photo looks very nice and bright as well.

I love the yellow in this photo, but the focus on your main flower is a bit soft... this is an interesting problem because it seems that the woodwork under the flower is in good sharp focus... - setzler
