A very nice looking shot. I like the light on the flower. The petals seem to glow and the detail in the stamens is great. I like the color of the flower and the way it stands out from the natural background.

A very good looking nature photo presented here! Your full and central composition provides us with an enjoyable view of your beautiful Bachelor bloom. Wonder how it got its alternative name? Those petals are wonderful! Well taken!

A beautiful picture of this beautiful blue Cornflower the light around it glowing through it's petals in the centre are it's stamens topped with dark pollen. Artistic composition, framing & lighting taken with superb camera techniques & sharp focus.

Oh my, a very pretty and very eye captivating blue you presented here Pat. It's almost like a periwinkle hue and I can see the lavender in it. Very nice detail in the center in this blue flower blossom. What an eye catcher!

Awesome,Pat!
This beautifully photographed Cornflower blossom is a perfect shade of what we 'old time NASCAR fans' like to call 'Richard Petty Blue'!
Your Well-Presented picture of it is Out Standing,my friend!

Stunning blue cornflower with the darker center. Love the texture of the petals which are shown with clarity. Nicely composed with a complementary background.
