The tiny bright blue scillas or squills flower in clusters here in the Spring before the bluebells come out.

I like the composition and the ensemble of colors and the balance between parts in focus and OOF... Vey nice.

Very nice flow with the composition Ian. The singling out of the taller bloom was very nicely done.

Ian, I believe you have gotten the hang of narrow DOF and soft focus. Lovely colors! I believe I would like to see a crop from the right, placing the dominant "in focus" blossom at the top right thirds intercept. If it were mine.

I like the three main flowers in focus and placement within the frame. The background OOF flowers add to the image. I might consider also cropping from the right since the larger OOF flower tends to draw my attention away but still a wonderful image.
