(Mertensia viridis)
Very early morning, with a bit of dew. The wild flowers here are just starting to reach peak bloom and I've been out every morning and evening for a week. Love this time of year! Thanks for looking. Comments welcomed.

Nancy: The early light really boosts the blues here and works for me pretty well. Nicely seen and captured. >=))>

Beautiful light and color Nancy. Very strong composition for my tastes as well. Love the outlines created by the droplets.

What a beautiful blue hue. The droplets really make the blue pop and illustrate a nice theme to the overall comp.

I like the intense blue color and how you have placed it in the frame.

Nancy, I always like that dew which looks like frosting here really due to the light you were offered by nature. Blueish tint to the whole frame also adds to the mood. Very inviting photo

One tiny nit would be lose the blue spot intruding upper left side, but that's the only comment I would make on an otherwise very beautiful image. Well done.

Nancy,

In my humble opinion, (smile) this is a much stronger image than is reflected in the number of views you're getting. The problem is that the thumbnail really doesn't suggest what a fine image this is.
