I have been trying to take a photo of a blue columbine for a while now. This one I liked the best. Comments very welcome!

Nice sharp center and I like a smooth bokeh. As for the light I might have used a diffuser here to soften it up a bit if you've got one.

I agree with the thought of a diffuser, but an overall great portrait.

Hi Elizabeth

I have always enjoyed your work

Love the soft quality of the color tones, and the varied degrees of beautiful light

Agree on the diffuser. A bit more DOF would be nice. Lovely color and detail within the focus.

Nice soft background and beautiful blue color. Sharp where it needs to be. Works well as is for me.

I feel your pain, Elisabeth. I've been trying with our local red version and usually with disappointing results. This is nice. I like the detail in the anthers and the light coming through the petals. A bit more dof would be nice if you could get it without the bg becoming obtrusive.
