Perfectly framed and well composed shot. The Blue Bonnet is a stunning color blue and shows so beautifully against the diffused background. A beautiful natural setting. Your lighting is good with good focus and good details and clarity in your image. A nice plus with the insect on your lovely flower. Nice work and thanks for sharing.

The photo details in the bright blue flower petals, the little butter fly on the bright blue petals centers the subject perfectly for the picture. The color contrasts of blue and green also heighten the focus on the flower petals. - Angel Knight

A real nice image of this lupine bloom with what looks like a moth on it. The color is great
But I think the focus could be a tad sharper. I love these flowers and this is a nice image of one for the blue contest.
Best of luck in the competition.

    Thank you very much for your encouraging comments and kind wishes. The insect is a Sipper Butterfly. I will try to sharpen the photo soon the contest ended.

This is a great entry for the color blue contest. The flowers don't get any bluer than that. The image is very pleasing to look at. It is nicely composed and the butterfly was a nice touch.

So refreshing and is just right for the contest. I recommend, that you can still clone those motion at the background, that seems to be a distraction. Let me know if you need an editing tool, after all the contest allows editing, and this image can be a masterpiece.

Nice nature picture.
I like the butterfly climbing around the Blue Bonnets.
The foreground of your image is very sharp but the Blue Bonnet and the butterfly are soft.
Your composition is ok. The background is good. I believe that the image should be cropped at the bottom and on each side to make the subject matter stand out better to the viewer.

    Thank you very much for your advice, but I can not edit the photo while the contest is still running.

    That is ok. I forgot about the contest. Bruce

This has superb detail and it is an over all great picture. I love the flower and how each part is shown. The clarity is great, the focus is good and it is almost perfectly centered. You did an excellent job and thank you for sharing it with us.

A beautiful picture of this flower spike of Blue Bonnet ~ Lupinus texenisis with a Skipper Butterfly sucking nectar the green in the background making the perfect contrasting backdrop to the Blue Bonnet & the Butterfly. Beautiful composition framing & lighting taken with superb camera techniques & sharp focus.
