    Rustic Blossoms

    The blossoms were far and few in between this Spring, but I did manage to get a couple shots. Hope you enjoy.

    Nos 3 & 4 are beautiful, Kathy - the first two I would put in the bin (did I just say that??). Regarding nos 1 & 2, the strong rectangular highlight to the right of both images, detract hugely.

    However the last two! 🤗

    #3 is by far the best, IMHO. Great shot.

    As Jim suggested, the problem with the others is the background. In #3, you have a great background: smooth and relatively even in brightness. This makes the flower stand out, and there are no distractions. All of the others have competing elements in the background.
