Maryliz. I love these little blue flowers--great colors. It's hard to tell without your camera settings but the image is blurry in most places. When taking a picture of a tiny flower close up you need a very low ISO to get a decent DOF at least f/11. Also the yellow is a little overexposed and if you take a photo of yellow in direct sun it helps to use a polarizing filter. Just some suggestions for improvement. Paula

Comment from onyanita
nicely framed Mary. They are really pretty and i love the blue and yellows together. Focus is sharp and dof gives nice separation from the background. Keeps our attention where it should be. Techs look good. Top shot.

Comment from canon shooter
Nice work with the light and showing the different stages of development. I would be tempted to use a little vignette to put the emphasis on the main flower. Thanks for the information.

a beautiful close up of these tiny flowers; they look similar to European violets but with a longer stem; nice lighting and sharp focus;

Comment from susanlen
Such a pretty little blue flower. Dainty little heads which I can just imagine nodding in the breeze. You have captured the blooms very well with lighting bringing out the blue more on certain petals. I like the composition and the perspective and the shot is very well framed. Softly blurred background completes this delightful image.
