Wonderful, rich blue color in this, Adrian! Very nice light, exp, details, and black BG really works well. Great work!

Hi Adrian, I love this blue and the comp is fantastic.....those lower flowers balance out this image nicely! The black BG really sets this off well. What was your source of light? There's a light area on the stem of the second from the bottom flower than I would clone over....other than that this looks great as is!

Hi Adrian. As noted above - great color, sharpness, and comp. Well done.

[Adrian David]

Thank you very much!
Ken, I didn't noticed the light area on that stem...thank you for bringing it up to my attention!

I love the simplicity of this image. Gorgeous blues. I'm quite fond of these single Hyacinth stems. The light is just right and the black bg highlights the beauty of the blossoms and colors.

Thank you Anita.
