Happy Flowers, Sad Day

Sharon, the flowers are big, bold and beautiful. I like how close you got. I think the lightning is a bit harsh. You have a blown area near the center top. The lighting on this shot washes out the color from the flowers. I also think the blues detract from the overall composition. The main subjects are the flowers but I'm kind of giving too much attention to the blues at the bottom. I played with your photo to enhance the boldness and the richness of the reds, oranges and yellows and desaturated the blues. Tell me what you think.
