I adore chicory; it brightens the side of so many roads and paths. Great blue flwoer and the background here sets it off perfectly. I also like the little "crown" it's getting from the seedhead behind it ;-)
This is great. Your focus and colors are wonderful. I was trying to do a yellow one yesterday and was having great difficulty doing it with a 50mm. Very fine capture.
Breathtaking lighting which gives a 3D effect to the petals. Couldn't have asked for a better background either, the orange hues really make the blue pop.
your flower shots are so special and beautiful .. you invest your photographs with the most wonderful feeling .. deep intense and involving .. i love to look at your work .. :)
this is just one among so many fantastic flower images .. love the drama of the colours .. love the sharp focus .. BRILLIANT .. :)
I think you're losing some punch, because your composition is a little off to me. This is an image that would definitely benefit from the "rule of thirds." Also as a personal preference, I would flip it Horizontally so the flower is on the left side.
