I liked the purple supported by the green leaves in this.

I like this comp with the Periwinkle framed in green, and the second OOF flower ULC adds nicely IMHO.
Excellent colors, light, details, and a great POV/look down the flowers interesting center here

Excellent comp and beautiful colors. Very nicely done! The flower reminds me of a pinwheel.

Bob/Charly - Love the implied motion from the petals. Looks lovely. I have always wanted to shoot this variety of Periwinkle but yet to find one in this petal formation.

Best shot of these I've seen in quite a while, Bob and Charly ! So tricky to compose, but here you have that slightly soft echoing flower as a lovely complement to the perfectly rendered main one.

The purple against green really pops, Bob. I like how you've focused on the single bloom and kept the second bloom both slightly oof and cut off to keep it from competing for interest. Well done.
