Photographer’s Note
Driving up a curvy country road over a 1800-foot ridge, I came across this orchard of plums or apricots(not sure which). The naturalized muscari ("grape hyacinths") under the trees caught my eye. What a great place to sit with a picnic of cheese, fruit and wine!

Wonderful location and great composition. I really like the positioning and shaddows of the trees, but like you, it's the hyacinths that catch my eye.
That said, I think the picture feels overexposed or under-saturated to me. I'm still learning myself, so pin-pointing the issue is a challenge. It's just that, given your subject and composition, I can't help but feel this should grab me more.
