Another Columbine image from this summer. This one seemed to be having a pensive moment to itself.

Nice title Morris. Great BG and a nice comp. I might crop off a tad from the bottom...but that is not major.

Morris: Aptly titled and superbly captured. Just enough blur on the BG bud to make it a plus element without being a distraction. I agree with Nathan that a small crop would help; perhaps to classic 4:5 ratio. Really well done.>=))>

As usual, the artists here know exactly how to improve a piece. Thanks for the crop suggestions Nathan and Bill. Definitely brings more prominence to the flower.

Thanks to everyone else for your time to comment.

Morris:
Very moody piece. Like this a lot and I can relate to this flower as according to my wife, this is how I looked like all the time - lost in thought

Well seen, composed and captured Morris, an artistic feeling and painterly effect.

Wonderful focused lighting on this, Morris. Your DOF is just right to show lots of detail on the flower but then blur the bud and BG. But the lighting is what makes this exceptional IMO!

Almost a 3D feel to this, Morris. Great DOF
