 I really like the deapth of field here. I boosted the reds, yellows and cropped the shot to follow the rule of thirds. The style makes me think of Ursula's style. I think people might vote it down cause it's not an obvious "ground up" shot, but if you look at the angle of the flowers, there's a kind of step pattern with the flowers in the fore ground, middle, and background. I was kneeling on the grown pointing towards the sky.

This is a beautiful picture with amazing bokeh, but you aren't really looking up at the main subject.
