Comment from Mara del Mar
Excellent shot of the massifs of flowers and great quality of the image. Great color and contrast, nice illumination, texture, and sharp focus, like good composition, good DOF and frame. Great job

Comment from Peter Farmer
Another great natural capture, with sharp focus and good detail throughout, good light use giving nice vibrancy to the shot and it is well positioned in frame. Peter.

Comment from MKFlood
Interesting capture. The clarity is good. The capture of the light is good. The angle of the shot of the flowers on hillside is great. The image is balance and eye interesting to the viewer. Good eye and good job overall.

It's spring! And you have captured is very nicely. The depth and sharp focus are excellent. I might play around a little with lighting those dark guys in the front. Just enough to make them easy to see. Super job. Cheers, James.

Good one Mary, reminds me of these plants in several colors that are popular in my home state of Oregon. A good focus, frame and DOF to show some beauty of nature.

I am sure this must have been the most impressive and beautiful garden, and these Hydrangea plants for sure seem to thrive and flourish in the most lovely way. I don't think I have ever seen them with such deep almost burgundy colors. They are also standing out well against the brighter background.

This is also a nice and sharp shot showing really clear and well defined details in the foreground flowers, but some areas on the right are a bit dark and very close to under exposure. I think adding some selective highlight to this area would be enough, or play around with levels.

I do however like your POV and how the plants are placed within the frame, because it is giving your composition a nice flow and balance. All together a lovely and well taken photo with a very good DOF, but in need of some small adjustments.

Very beautiful and large it appears in this photo. The subject is very much in focus with the eye trailing to the flowers in the back. Great framing and gorgeous flowers, thanks for sharing.

How lovely Mary. You must have a beautiful garden. Lovely shot of these unusual coloured hydrangeas. I like how you filled the frame with these.

Lighting and focus very good showing excellent clarity. Very nice composition. Suzanne
