I like how you filled the frame with this shot of the lovely Cornflower, Mary. I also like how you focused on the centre with the petals fading off. How lovely that a seed planted by your grandson has produced this lovely flower - I bet he's thrilled.

Lighting and focus very good showing great detail in the twists and curls of the petals. Very nice composition. Suzanne

Hi zilyram,

This is a beautiful shot of the cornflower and the blue which fades into the background is exquisite and a delight to the eye. Thanks for sharing this! R
