Comment from PhotoVision
I like the repeated rows of flowers in this image. Their colours against the green foliage is particularly nice. If it were my image I might lighten this in the centre, to draw attention to that one branch of hearts. Good luck in the contest.

Great Idea Michele. Someone said there was no focal point and to me all the flowers are--it's all heaven--but that is a great idea of how to create a focal point when there isn't really one. Thank you.

Comment from Anne
This is beautiful the way you took this. I like that you have so many of the blooms in the picture. I like the way you have them going across the page. I like the way you see all the leaves in this too. An excellent picture.

Thank you Anne, don't you just love bleeding hearts! They are adorable. Paula

Comment from IRISFEE
Yes, the bleeding hearts are indeed marvelous. I have them in my garden too and took so many photos of them. They remind me a little of the fuchsias. This is a very nice shot and I can see why you got the All Time Best.

Thanks again Charlie, for taking the time to review this image.

Comment from janvan723
Great shot. The pinks in the bleeding hearts really jumps out against the dark green leaves. I like that the top row is in shadow. I makes the lower rows stand out. Well done.
