I took this shot at Kilmainham Art Museum, in the grounds. I think these are snowdrops, I’d previously been there and they’d been cordoned off, but that day the cordon was removed. Liked the way it runs in a path, and with the airplane flying overhead, the title popped in my head, whether for good or bad :)
Focused on the middle ground to try and keep the snowdrops in soft focus. Don’t know if it works or not.
Any critiques and comments no matter how harsh appreciated. Thanks in advance!

you can see evident of the nd grad filter, upper half is much bluer than the lower half, make sure that the grad evens out the blue sky, looks like the grad was half way in the sky. you would need a high fNo to get the background & foreground into focus f8-f16 would be enough, composition is almost ok,good leed in line with the snowdrops, the frame looks split in 2, google about “rule of thirds” will help in composition.
