What a capture Susanne! When I looked at the tumbnail, I thought that was a bug crawling up the stem. In full size I see it for what it truly is. Brilliant colors and a great angle.

Exquisite. John's right about the bug. This is a beautiful shot of that flower, and the bud. I love the background work too. A+ for this, Susanne.

The background seems to be conflicting with the bloom!...

Maybe darken behind the flower to pull out the colour..

it's a really good composition and well taken!..

Nice work honey!

Great color of the flower but I do find the background kind of distracting. sandi♥

A NOTE TO ALL MY FRIENDS: I WILL BE COMMENTING LESS ON PEOPLE IN MY “FRIENDS” LIST SO AS TO MAKE TIME FOR VIEWING ALL “NEW IMAGES” AND ENCOURAGING OTHER PEOPLE OF WHOM I MAY NOT KNOW OR ARE NEW TO THE SITE. I WILL STILL VIEW EVERY IMAGE OF MY FRIENDS AND STILL COMMENT ON SOME IF I CAN GIVE A GOOD CRITIQUE OR MENTION WHAT I LIKE OR FEEL IS REALLY WORKIN’ WELL IN THE IMAGE. AS FAR AS MY IMAGES IF YOU HAVE A COMMENT ON HOW I CAN IMPROVE AN IMAGE I REALLY WANT TO HEAR ABOUT THAT SO AS TO LEARN AND BETTER MYSELF.

Wow, this is wonderful and I love the angle you have taken it from. I have been seeing these all around this year and didnt know what they are called. Thank you for giving me the name. Well done!

I love cornflowers and we don't see them often enough. I was in France a few weeks ago and there were cornfields with poppies and cornflowers - apparently they're making a comeback now the farmers have stopped using so much pesticide. Nice shot Susanne.
