Hello again gooc!

I dont recall ever being asked to review two photos by the same photographer back to back before. At least I have seen your technique of the strong forground subject against the distant background before! You have a strong eye for this particular type of presentation.

I like the way that you have used the fill flash to seperate the subject from the background and to bring out the colors. Nice work! Did you use a fill flash in the daisies on tires shot as well?

As you said in your comments, the birds don't work. I would clone them out. Did you experiment with darker and lighter skies? I am wondering if a solid black background might be very dynamic. And also wondering if a lighter sky might bring out the colors in the flowers even more.

Nice shot. I give you a 6!!
