Greetings from the Critique Club!
I can see your commenters love the lupines, and so do I. In fact, this pic is all about the lupines, that's where all the love is with a deep dof and fantastic colour tones and I suspect where most of the NIK was done! If anything the top third - which is frankly just a big distracting chunk of blah that does nothing at all for the overall pic. (By chunk of blah, I mean a whole whack of distracting elements that just sit there and do nothing for the image but draw the eye.The church is cute, but the hazy summer sky and bleachy clouds just don't do it for me. Crop em out and bang, you have the start of a wonderful, strong image with the way the lupines flow together. The elements are all there in the fg. Never be afraid to crop!
Hope this helps
