I love these Hollyhocks and they remind me of tissue paper. I think this is a well take photograph, sharp on the focal point and excellent bokeh. Rich in saturation it is a natural and unpretentious shot.

Lovely

For me this picture does not represent a beginning, these are just open flowers...

This really speaks of new beginnings. The fact you had to lay down on your stomach to get this shot, so close to the ground propels it to the top of the class. Your saturation and colour is natural and the blurred foreground really engages the viewer to look inward. Just lovely, a pleasure to study.

PS I was in some garlic fields yesterday and thanks to this shot I tried your technique, so special thank you for inspiring me with your image.

It looks soft but in hi-res it is sharper, glad I looked there. A noble presentation of newness indeed. Strong colours with soft bokeh, and the colour palette of hot red against cold blue punches this image out. Very pleasing to study.

The detail is stunning.

I like the concept of the receding tree line. My only suggestion is that bottom of the greenery not catch the bride at eye level. Taken either a little higher or lower would have created better focus for me on their faces.

... Thank you for your comments.
