| Dan Costello | Very nice group of shapes and the plants work nicely for me. I would have cropped the top of the image as it seems a bit distracting with the ladder or trestle in the upper right. |

| Gary Davi | I’m tempted to put this image on my wall, it is simple, delicate and soft -- the geometry gives it structure, but the flowers speak for themselves. Very nice. |
| Allan Fleischer | Very pleasing colors but the image is too busy for my eyes. |
| Sukumar | I love the color combination and the negative frame provided by the white slotted fence. The curve of the fence makes the composition. The structure on the roof (TV antenna?) is a bit distracting. |
