Blue Cornflower

Nice selective focus here Albert - just perfectly placed in and around the center. OOF petals are nicely handled so as to not become distractions. If anything a slight crop from the top, but not a biggie.

I agree with you that the blues from this flower are unique.

This is perfect for my tastes Albert just as posted. Great dof decision and I love the color palette and composition. Beautiful image.

Albert:
Nice selective focus at the center of the flower with pleasing bg. Wish for a smidgen more canvas on the left but no big deal. Good as presented too.

Very nice!

Wonderful selections made to capture a wonderful pose Albert. Well done and displayed.

Beautiful color and presentation Albert, it really stands out well against the BG. Nicely done.

Almost missed this little beauty, Albert.

Interestingly the pink OOF object behind the flower really enhances the image. I'm not sure about the OOF areas of the flower to the front and behind the flower center. I think the image might have been more effective had it been shot from a slightly different angle with the sharp focus on the area of the flower closest to the viewer (certainly worth experimenting with).

And I do agree with Gary about the need for more space on the left of the flower.

I like the composition and I think you succeeded admirably with capturing the vivid blue tones.

Don't know how long these bloom; hope you capture more of them.

Cheers,

Carol

Bold purple/blue set this apart from the usual. I like the pink b/g ...might have been tempted to push b/g brighter throughout and add more pinks...it compliments this well. Nice capture and well placed.

very nice, like the colors and comp.....

Great background and color! I also like the pof, dof, and the comp.

Albert: Wonderful color palette and a fine DOF choice. 2 thumbs up. >=))>

Most excellent! Very nicely done that the top oof petals blend with the sharply focused lower ones. That is brilliant! Nice set-up and settings for the shot, Albert.
