Blue Glory, Glory

Hi all.

I found this pair of blue morning glory flowers recently at the Thanksgiving Point Gardens. I have a few photos with a pair of purple morning glories, so I liked being able to take this one.

Does the leaf on the left bother you?

Any and all thoughts appreciated.

Nathan - Lovely soft blues there with complementary yellows at the center. The centers placed at the thirds makes the composition attractive.

The leaf does not bother me one bit but I wish the edge of the upper bloom was slightly more in focus/

Nathan: Love the glow of the centers and their placement in the frame. Leaf works for me. I can see Ram's point regarding the petal edge but I'm not sure I would have noticed without his mention of it. Well done.>=))>

Well composed for the two blue flowers, Nathan. Not easy to do, but I think this works pretty well.
