I was wondering how you got the whole cluster in focus at f/4 until I saw it is a 36 image focus stack. I have a soft spot for Forget-me-nots as they start blooming early in the spring here in our garden. They do spread a lot though!! Good colour rendition, and I like the bit of greenery the leaf in the BG provides.

Nice shot, it takes some patience to stack those images. Lovely colour rendition. This looks different to the species in my garden the petals seem to have more texture.

Wow, 36 separate images!! Very nice composition with the open blue flowers clustered together, surrounded by a few pink buds, and those surrounded by the very interesting hair-covered closed buds. Nice color layers and texture layers.

Stunning. The contrast of the colors and textures of the flowers and the buds is really a treat to the eyes. TFS this wonderful image.

I keep coming back to this one for good reasons. It is gorgeous. I would suggest adding just a bit of Selective Sharpening via a Contrast Mask (Unsharp Mask at 15/65/0) to the closest blossom. It is a tad soft as compared to those tack sharp buds.
