Beautiful

Nice subject, but there is a sharpness issue. When I look at the metadata, f/5.6 is not going to give you the depth of field that you need here. The camera also chose to focus in the wrong place.

There are so many other nice colours around, that they actually distract from your main subject a bit. Toning those areas down a bit would be worth considering.

Also, although the image was posted with no chroma sub-sampling, the compression ratio in JPEGsnoop was about 30:1 which is not conducive to good detail. A bits-per-pixel of less than one doesn't help either.

Can I ask where you found the meta-data, Manfred?

There is next to none in the posted image ... for example, EXIF/XMP/IPTC/MAKER-NOTES ...

Followed his link below the image to Flickr... The data is available there, even though it is stripped out of the posted image.

New camera the last series and getting use to it and breaking some bad habits. I am shooting with a Lumix G mirrorless.
