Blue

Comments welcome

I'm kind of baffled as to why this photo hasn't been rated higher.

 

To me the colors are pleasing to the extreme. A feast for the eye, it feels like the visual equivalent of a long drink of cool water on a hot day.

 

The shallow DOF adds a delicacy to the structure of the flower and the composition is bang-on just about perfect.

Thanks for the comment. I think there are a few people who are just going through and rating things quickly without really looking. . Look at the standard deviation on the ratings. I really like this image and I appreciate the comments. This was taken with a view camera and digital back

I like this shot. Small nitpick would be the tip of the subject flower being cut off on the left side. Good processing.

i agree about the cutoff so i just went back to he original file and was fortunate that i can fix this :). will post in a few

smooth,like blue velvet.very well done
