This is a beautiful shot of a blue daisy. You framed it well, and the light, shadows, colours, and composition worked well. Good luck in the contest!

A lovely photograph of this blue daisy. Focus and clarity are beautiful showing the flowers' details. The background is nicely blurred so as not to detract from the flower. Good luck in the contest.

A very lovely visual presented here of this beautiful flower. Composition shades tones and light create a very soft scene. Love the muted leaves which draw to eye to your subject! Well done!

Charlotte,
A beautiful picture of the blue Anemone Blanda with a dusting of white pollen on the blue petals standing out from it's foliage & the blurred red in the background. Beautiful composition framing and lighting taken with superb camera techniques and sharp focus. Good luck in the contest.
Susan.

Beautiful. My first time to see this blue single Animoo Blanda flower. I love the clarity of the stamens and the natural colors of the petals. The bluish purple hues created a strong contrast with the green blades at the background. Excellent lighting, focus, angle, and framing placement. A refreshing sight.

Hi Charlotte.. This is an excellent entry for the seeing blue contest. this shade of blue contrast nicely with the green dominant background - I like it.

The main subject is well positioned in a central presentation. The flower petals are all in excellent focus with wonderful vein and crenulation detail - well done.

The central structures are all in fine focus and stand out in sharp contrast to the petals and background.

Overall, this is a very well planned and executed floral take and should do well in the contest, good luck... Bob
