How beautifully delicate! Colors are so soft and gentle - very much compliments the nature of the flower itself. Nicely photographed!

I love the color in this azalea. You did a great job with giving it a natural appearance despite the fact that I don't even think azaleas come in blue (?) Nice movement in the stamens as well.

This is a beautiful composition. I love the focus, DOF, and light. I have never seen a blue azalea.
