Hi Karen, I love seeing you moving into the challenge of brightly colored flowers. And this Anemone is a beautiful subject. You have chosen some good colors, but I think you can go darker, especially in the center where the petals meet. As it is, my eyes are drawn to the buds. I want a reason for them to come back to the beautiful flower. Also beware of creating an outline. From what I can see the flower petals have a bit of a curl on the edges, which would make somewhat of an outline, but be careful not to make it too uniform. Let it come and go as the light falls on the flower.
