I like the color and depth of field, but my eyes keep getting drawn to the closest flowers (the blurry ones) 'cause they're so bright. A shot from a higher position and with more sky would've worked better in my opinion.

Great location to really capture the spirit of the challenge. This is definitely flora, a variety and very location-specific. I am jealous of the clear, blue sky. I think this would be stronger with something as the star of the show, so to speak. It's not really inclusive enough for a landscape but it's not macro enough for just a flower to stand out.I think if there were a tree or a blossom that was the central subject it would be more visually pleasing, but very good job all the same.

Different focus (nearer) would've been more impactful.
