    April Flowers

    Standing out in the crowd. This one may need something but I'm not sure what.

    Re: April Flowers

    I like the sweeping feel of the composition.
    White flowers are a tough exposure in bright light.Try bracketing like mad, or getting a spot reading off the flower you want exposed.
    Cloning those sharp bits on the right would be a drag, but they do take away the eye.
    A crop, I believe, would leave the subject too close to the edge.
    Look through a glass eye.
    Give it a few tries.
    Nothing goes right in its time.

    I agree Snoid - I thought about a crop and tried a few quick edits, but it seemed to take away rather than improve. I think what slightly hurts this one is that although the contrast is eye-catching, the main subject is just too dark. Flowers are harder than they look, much like boats.
