Wow what beautifully colored flowers, never seen them in my life.

Feels washed out a little, needs some vibrancy. The colours could be fantastic.

Seems washed out....

sorry but I do not feel good with the colours. It seems as not naturals.

the colors don't look natural.

Is this bee balm? I had a red one I loved as did the bumblebees. Very nice picture although there is a lot of competition between the two closest blooms for being the focal point.

seems a little fuzzy, and the white balance appears to be too cool, on the positive side I really like the composition!

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:

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).

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.

Beautifull flower but the backgroung is noisy and blue

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

These are beautiful and unusual flowers that I would like in my yard. 10.

Nice flower picture, I especially like the composition. The colors look a bit dull on my monitor and the focus could be a bit sharper.

Underexposed and the composition is off.
