    Paul,

    Perfect. Wouldn't change a thing. Amazing sharpness, bang on colors, and a great shot.

    Wonderful,

    Jared

    Paul, This is wonderful, I love the colours and the DOF is spot on, however I think I would have liked to see more at the bottom, but then I don't know what was there.

    You can go see for yourself, they're by the roundabout where the underpass goes to Basing View !!
    They're going over now though, not such a good subject for a reshoot

    I looked at visiting this roundabout last weekend but the weather was dreadful.

    I am loving the purple stripes in there against the white. Really nice.

    Re: pyjama stripes

    Paul, great job at keeping the exposure in balance, always a problem for me with similar subjects. I would LOVE to see that spread of flowers shot from a lower angle, it would be awesome, although the BG may have prevented that.

    Re: pyjama stripes

    Hey Paul.

    I think the backlighting is a good element, though I think a much tighter crop would make this image stronger. The surrounding grass and dirt add nothing to the impact of the stripes, and I think a crop to just the petals would show us what you initially saw in these flowers.

    Re: pyjama stripes

    I'm not sure which crop I like best, and I haven't found one that really grabs me.
    You asked a good question Seb, which I can't answer yet ...

    Why is it, when I look at these I'm thinking Hawaiian shirt?
    The colors are real nice.

    Paul,

    All three of those crops work for me! Pick one and hang it up on the wall
