Real nice composition, Kostos! Great color, nice light glow of BG, and like how the yellow of BG compliments the blue. Nicely done as is, also think a version with stem in focus would work as well.

Hi Kostas. Beautiful blues against an interesting background! You have very nice detail in the petals and I think the image would be even stronger if the stem was a little sharper. You might also consider some noise reduction on the background, but overall, this is well done!

I agree with the other comments; that stem being in focus would have pushed this over the top. Lovely image and lighting!

Hi Kostas, I agree with the previous comments....this looks good but if the stem were in focus, this would look great! As it is now, I think that cloning over the brown area in the LL could help....that dark color keeps pulling my eye away from the beautiful blue flower. :S3:
