This image has potential, but the lower left portion is very "empty" and distracting.

Very nice. Lighting, d.o.f. and composition all work together on this one. The dark area at the bottom provides "weight" as well as harmony and balance.

More "negative space" at the top of the image (maybe another 10%?) could help...

If I wasn't so happy that (a long and brutal) summer is finally over, it would make me wish it were spring again. ;>

I think the bottom of the picture is a bit dead and distracting.

I also think the one flower on the left that has no blossoms distracting. It seems to be sharper than the others, and draws the eye away from better the more interesting flowers. Repositioning the camera so its not in the frame would make the photo stronger.

This is a good example of how to shoot a great magazine cover!
