Greetings from the Critique Club!

Lovely scene, colours are great and poppy. The church in the bg helps anchor the shot and the lightness of it helps balance the weight of the colourful flower field. White is a touch bleachy on the sun side of the steeple, but it doesn't kill the shot. The light cirrus clouds overhead help add a dreamy, almost surreal feel which is nice to look at. FWIW I either would have increased dof or shutter speed one stop to just help mute and deepen the tones a little more.

Overall a very pleasant idyllic eye candy piece. Good to see you placed well with it too!

Hello from the Critique club

An appealing image that meets the challenge.

I like the concept and execution with the minimal DOF but I think it could have worked better. I find the cloth on the right very distracting I don’t think it contributes to the end result, quite the opposite. Also I think if you had shot from a lower angle putting the bowl of cherries lower in relation to the front cherry it would have improved the end result too. I do like the off-centre composition it works well. I also like the generally high-key result.

Thank you for your entry Janine
