    Floral Fireworks

    With the natural backlight from the setting sun, these seedheads appear to glow in grass, but I'm not sure that this image conveys that very well. I'm thinking the combination of the circular seedheads, hooking dried leaves and straight stem lines make for an interesting composition. Thoughts, critique and feedback appreciated.

    nice separation from the bg. the image is a bit soft though. also not too crazy about the browns in this. i like the composition though, it works.

    I think you need more contrast.
