Pretty. I would have also tried focusing on one isolated flower to see how
that worked.

Color Cast

There seems to be a color cast.

Also, I would also try making a particular flower the primary subject. My eye doesn't seem to know where to start. Does that make sense?

Good luck!

Its not a color cast, but I masked the layers around the flowers to blur them a bit. To get a sort of mistic look.

I would love to see you isolate 1 or 2 flowers and re-shoot! this seems a bit busy.

I actually like the composition of the 3 flowers. I think it is very beautiful and nicely done.

While it is always worth trying a single flower to see what you get I, like Jewel, like the layout of the collection of flowers here rather than a single flower.

I agree with the remarks about the collections. Although I love details that you can shoot on one individual flower, I always also try to create compositions with three flowers in a triangle. (For example a bigger one as eye catcher and two smaller ones to complete it, or a perfect symmetry of three equal sized flowers, or... many possibilities.)

Your shot approaches the triangle idea. The only problem is that the lower left flower is cut off too much and the upper right corner of the picture shows some part of another flower that destroys the triangle.

Just some thoughts...
