Very pretty lighting & comp. It seems you might have focused behind the plants a little as they seem more in focus than the flowers though.

Pretty against the green background, and nicely composed near the third lines. I agree with Eirini on the focus.

I agree with you too Eirini. These are so low to the ground, that I have problems using the view finder and the bright light makes the view screen useless. Auto focus allows me some success but can focus on non subjects.

Very cool, Charlie. the focus is producing an interesting halo around the blossoms. I think I saw Adorama advertising a right angle viewfinder that they say fits "most" cameras. Might come in handy for this kind of shot. I have a Canon version that I use occasionally.

Hi Charlie Thanks for sharing this lovely flower. here in the east, we have a similar Lupine... " Lupinus perennis", which is quite similar. i like how you captured the lupines against the grass
