Hi, this is a comment from the critique club!

I wanted to say that the photo was overexposed, but now I see that's the challenge-topic ;)

The first two things that I see here are the bright yellow colors and the natural framing. I like it!
The darker contrast-rich rocks are great with the bright and soft view at the center. I think you did a good job.

Bigger is better, too bad the resolution couldn't be bigger.

The light sets a nice mood over the garden. Beautiful.

I wish this was bigger...

Wonderful composition to get the sun burst in the picture without lens flare. Great Job

Wow. Not obvious and damned well done and right up the challenge's alley. I hold a torch for this one.

Good shot, I'd like to see this one take a ribbon.

Maybe the tiniest bit too mich overexposure on the garden, I would have liked to have seen the detail in the flowers centre right. No complaints really though =]
