The light through the petals is superb. The flower seems to have a little lamp inside. The dark background amplifies the glow remarkably. Your photo is perfect focused, exposed and treated with mixed media. I am impressed by the sharpness of detail. The flower is excellently placed within the frame. The composition is balanced.

a wonderful close up LeeAnn of this cornflower, centaurea cyanus, one of the few really blue and not purple flowers just called "blue"; excellent angle and outstanding sharp details against the dark background;

Not sure it could be any sharper focused. The brilliant blue illuminated by the sunlight is almost iridescent. The single bloom with the black background allows it to jump of the screen. Cropped perfectly to allow the bloom to star in the scene. Real beauty.

Really nice POV here LeeAnn ;)
I really like your use of light and the Darkened background leaving zero distractions to allow this lone Cornflower to have our full attention.
Very nice work ;)

This cornflower is truly beautiful Lee Ann, and I especially like the way the light is shining through the petals. I also like a lot the simplicity of this photo and the all black background. The flower is standing out from it in an excellent way.

The focus is spot on and sharp, and it is indeed clear and well defined details to be seen in the petals of the flower. The colors are crisp and clear and the exposure is just perfect.

The portrait format is working so well, and the flower has got a very good placement within the frame. A truly beautiful and well taken photo with an excellent DOF, and I wish you luck with the contest.

A beautiful wildflower that I often see growing along the shoulder of country roads. A fine perspective with great colors. Best of luck in the contest.
