Lush colors of two of my favorite flowers: lilacs and, I believe, Bluets. I find that blue is a very difficult color to capture so love seeing this one.

Rebekah, Thanks for stopping by. Your comment is appreciated. Thanks also for identifying the Bluettes. I'll have to rename this post now :-) This one came from a P&S so you see what I mean when I say I'm becoming a convert. Just so happens this is the type of shot they excell at (no extremes of lighting which could result in blown highlights or noisy shadows). Best, LM.

The accent of the blue blooms, bottom right, kind of make this shot

for me. Your observations\critique will be gratefully received.

Best, LM.

Azer, Thanks for taking the time. I'm glad you said it is the flowers & colours that are perfect. I had nothing to do with them. :-) That was nature's work. I simply arranged them into what, for me, was a pleasing composition. Happy you like it. Best, LM.
