Very nice image. Very nicely framed. It doesn't distract, so it's not a problem, but if I was taking this shot I'd've probably used a wider aperture to bokeh-ify the ground more. Just a personal thing I guess. Lovely sharpness here!

I thought this was a lovely capture of wildflowers in their native setting. Great textures. Got one of my highest scores.

Wonderful sharpness in the hairs. But what really makes this cool is the progression of bloom amount.

I love Pasque Flowers! They are blooming now in our Botanical Gardens. Love the fuzz on the stems.
