Comment from Terjondy
This is an amazing and unusual shot. I like the variety of colour which is punchy and bright. The lighting is good but the exposure has left the foreground a little overexposed and blown out some of the highlights. Although this is an interesting composition, I believe another point of view would make it more interesting, perhaps with the lens closer to the ground or off to one side so that the blue river did not extend straight up the middle of the shot. I like symmetry, but then it must be absolute. For instance, the yellow tulips on the left occupy more space on the left, so the symmetry does not work for me. Having said that, the visual impact is great.

Absolutely love this blue river of flowers Fred! the tulips are are gorgeous and the river takes the eye to the very edge of the garden. Excellent dof, focus, lighting and framing:)
