BKS, I get the concept and I like the framing. The one question I have is that if the flowers are the subject for this photograph, shouldn't you use a smaller f-stop to keep more of them in focus? To me it looks like the fence posts are in focus.

I personally like how it blurs out to just white in the background.
Did take a picture with better DOF but I liked this one more.
The name was the first thing that came to may head when posting this and I ussualy don't name my pictures.
But it's true the fence stick out more and the name was not maby the best.

Thanks for the nice comment, always appreciated!

I like the picture as is too, please don't take that as I didn't. I have trouble naming photos too, trying to come up with catchy titles.

As I said, I like the framing and composition. Good job.

I like the photo composition as well, but I agree with ron that the flowers should be in focus. There are many lead-in elements to this photo and the blur and monochrome makes it difficult to tell if they are indeed flowers in the distance. However--B&W works well because of the the scant fencing and bare tree limbs.

You can always simply change the title to "Ocean of Flowers"...

Better title, thanks

I like the dark feel of this one, and it's cool that it can be dark and dreamy at the same time. A smaller aperture would've given it a completely different feel – not better or worse, just different... but it would've taken away the dreamy feel. In my opinion, the key element in the frame is the fence, not the flowers. The only thing I'd consider changing is the trees on the right – they're so dark that they almost become a black patch. Maybe just a bit of dodging, just so some detail begins to show?

Maby not a bad ide, need to dig up the raw file first.
