This is a wonderful shot of the flower.. You have framed it well. Light and sharpness are very effective in creating a lovely capture. Good luck in the contest!

A neighbor down the street from me has a fence that is covered with the very same flowers in blue, white and pink. They are pretty large and so beautiful as the sun seems to glow in their centers. Good frame, focus and exposure here. Like it.

    Thank you so much for this helpful review and the cheerful story. Yes I've noticed morning glories all my life, but not really because I didn't notice or remember about the sunlit center until my camera caught this. And I'm glad youun center told me you noticed the sun centers too, lets me know it wasn't camera error:)

A beautiful Morning Glory flower. They come in various colours but this is my favourite, sky blue. I like the way you have framed the shot and filled the frame with the flower. Focus is very good too.

Comment from canon shooter


Very good tones, but if you could darken the center a little I think it would be a little more stunning. Do these spread like the wild one?

    Yes they spread everywhere--they are right at the picket fence in my yard. Thanks for the suggestion about the center. I couldn't believe they catch the sun like this, but it is a bit bright, oops! Have a great day:)

Comment from DWB Pictures


The edges of this flower are a little soft on focus and the center trumpet has burned out it is so bright. These are easily overcome by just changing your angle to slightly higher, it would have taken away the brightness but not too much and it would have brought the top edge of the petals into focus. Colors and cropping are good

    You are right it is bright, but it is the sun caught in it. Thank you for these helpful suggestions and review:)

Comment from bill_collett


Great colour and detail. Sharp focus and cropping just right. Unfortunately, the centre is a little blown out and loses some detail, but overall a nice shot well done
