This is lovely shot of the flower. You have framed it well. The light,colours and the composition have worked well. Good effort!

This is absolutely simple, beautiful and elegant. Great job with the lighting and focal point. The contrast to the green backround really works well. Great Job.

A very good nature shot Mary Elizabeth. I really like the way you have captured and framed the flower (whatever it is) very well. It stands out very well again st the muted background. Very good camera work. Spring has Sprung.

Comment from canon shooter
Very nice presentation with a wonderful background and the angle of the flower. Great idea to have it coming from the left.

Comment from donaldcolson
Very nice shot. Focus could be a bit sharper. What do you think about lowering the flower a bit. The colors are wonderful.

Thanks very much, had to crop this way as there was another bud overhead and I just wanted the single bloom.

Comment from DavidP
It is a very pretty blue flower with its yellow stamen in the center. Like how you composed this shot with the flower stem coming in from the left and the flower in the center. Lovely blurred bg with pretty soft colors really enhance this blue beauty. A pin sharp focus and excellent exposure brings out the fine detail in the flower. Very impressive shooting on this one.
