I just set it to auto levels and cloned out some leaves. but i don't know really know what a free study was so i put this on there, it probably isn't very original since they're just flowers, but these are last minute. take it easy on me.

Wow! Love the bright colors and and contrast with the blue sky. I would have boosted the green in the stems a bit (afterall, it was advanced editing and this was allowed).
Composition is nice. Visually, it may have been stronger if you broke off the two stems on the right side of the picture that dont have flowers.
Colors are blown out and hurt the eyes, composition is not as interesting as it could have been if subject had been photographed from a different angle
The colors are lovely; and the poppies look festive against the sky. Unfortunately it's hard to find anything in the photo that is in focus. And that's a major problem.
