I think it would have been nicer if you'd zoomed in on the flowers and the cloud a bit but it's pretty and I like how the cloud is almost directly behind the flower heads. Maybe crop the sides of the picture a little so that you don't have the leaf in the bottom left corner but the cloud and flower remain central.

The green thing in the bottom corner is a little odd, but it's really a very nice picture. I would also suggest a slight zoom, but not too much...you would lose the affect.

I like the idea, having clouds as a backdrop to flowers but it needs to be a bit more clean.

The short green steam and leaf in the lower left corner could easily be edited out.

Over all it's a nice pic. I agree it could be zoomed in a bit.

Though the cloud makes a pleasant background to the flower, it merges the two images a bit. Personally, I think it would have added a bit more interest as well as keep the focal point a bit less cluttered if the two things were seperate. Still, thats just me. Its a beautiful flower, and I agree with Kitty15 on the whole zooming thing. Just remember the rule of thirds the next time you take a photograph, and you're all set! ALSO- I love your use of contrast in this peice, as well as the angle you took it at :D Should you want to give it a bit more of a professional look, I would suggest giving a border.
I feel the dire need to go buy tootsie rolls right now, and I can't really explain why.

I think it would be nice if there were by chance, more flowers then stem. The green is a nice enough relief from the blue, but it's not as appealing as I think the flowers would if they were closer.

It's pretty...I like the flowers against the clouds. A nice effect. I agree with kitty, though, you could have focused more on the flowers.

generally I don't edit my pics, but you guys are right about the green bit and the zooming.

I really like this. I think that the way it is all positioned is really good. I think the flower could be bigger but the cloud in the background is a nice touch.

I think the rule of thirds could help you out here. If you had the cloud a little farther to the right (that's the great thing about clouds, if you're patient enough they move for you) and the flower a bit to the left of the frame, the composition would be stronger.

Also, the awning or whatever it is in the corner is a little distracting. Maybe you could crop it a little around the edges to get more of the flower and sky, and less of the distracting elements.

I really like this.

I love the way the cloud is right behind the flower.

I'm not an expert on photography so i can't really say much else. :lol:

Super :)

I think the best thing about making it into the quote generator is when nobody tells you, so one day you're just scrolling and voila, some phenomenally inane thing that crawled out of your dying synapses and immediately regretted being born the second it made contact with the air has been archived for all time. Or worse, a remark of only average inanity. Never tell me when you've put me in the generator. Pride-tinged regret just doesn't taste the same without the spice of surprise.
