Very nice palette of blue flowers. IMO the tree trunks in FG fit well to the composition, the small oane in BG is distructing a bit. Well done Barb. :smile:

Nicely done. IMHO you have captured a very pleasing image. Nice colors, detail and composition. I do think you might be able to crop a bit of the top and have a stronger image. Thanks for sharing.

Awesome Barb! I need to make up to Morton Arboretum someday to shoot. Looks like a neat place.
I like everything about this shot, great job holding the blues in check. Might work with a little more contrast added to the trunks. The feel a little washed out to my eye compared to all the contrast in the flowers and greenery.
