Amazing color this one is.
Gorgeous colors so bright, clear and vivid. Purple, whites, and center yellow WOW! Background is also fantastic for this columbine. Centered, detailed and shadowed properly. Gorgeous photo and great eye viewer.
Thanks for showing.
Congratulations and GOOD LUCK.
Have yourself a magnificent evening!

Nice one! I think Columbines are so elegant! They grow wild (in many colors) all over the mountains of Colorado!

Nice focus, DOF, and post processing.

Artist license: I have this "thing" about the subject being too low in the frame... as if it's going to drop off... like a person in a portrait. (Maybe a square crop on this one... cropping the top off a bit?)

They are weeds in my yard also but they do have an elegant sort of flower. I like this artful presentation with the colors of the flower reintroduced in the background. Very nice colors and fine details.

I like your recent compositional style--keeping it so simple or adhering to the KISS principle.
Not much fun fare & pizzazz.
Just simple flowing lines and graceful curves.
A visually soothing painterly feel that seems to stretch your focal attention to the edge of the frame--or even beyond!
The colors are harmonious with nice contrast & just enough saturation.
Subtle illumination.
Diffused focusing.
Fine details, features and textures.
Thanks for sharing...

    This is what I mean with your berries post!

    Just minimize those flowing lines and you'll see what I mean...

Gorgeous as always. I love the colors in the flower. The work you did on the photo after is very beautiful. I like the softness of the background and the way it blends in so well. Love it.

This is really very lovely with your signature background. Great color, the softness is a perfect contrast with the vibrancy of your bloom. Very nice framing in the square and the angle to the bloom a different take and visually appealing. Thanks for sharing.

A gorgeous presentation of this flower with a sharpness and chiaroscuro effect that is so appealing to the eye and as a result of your technique the flower provides depth that feels as though it is growing out of the canvas... A truly beautiful piece

Excellent form, shadow, color, and tonal range has created dimension.Skillful composition: well-defined center of interest perfectly framed to accentuate the theme of your piece. Thanks for sharing!
