You've got a gift for seeing angles and using them effectively in composition, Ashley -- go for it. "Fountain!" is an obvious example.

Here, the darker foliage running down from the upper left corner meets the lighter foliage running up from the lower left corner right where the zinnias bloom, a dark triangle of shadow in between. Great angles.

Might be worth experimenting with a crop that emphasizes those lines by putting the zinnias in the right third of the image and eliminating the distracting detail now crowding in from the right.

Very nice (natural) colors and details! I like the way the composition places the subject off of center. You might also try eliminating those flowers on the borders, especially if not fully in view. If you shoot this type of shot again, I would try to avoid a bright reflection like the leaf in the lower center, since it attracts our eyes away from the subject. Polarizing filters are good for this purpose. A good one, Ashley! Thanks for sharing.
