For this composition I was attracted by the combining
of the colors blue and yellow. I made this image about
a month ago in Southern California under a foggy sky.
As always I welcome your comments.

Robert, I like the saturation here, it looks spot on. However it seems a little soft. I'm guessing maybe a breeze or the web sharpening. Or even a long focal length w/ out enough depth of field.

Thanks for the constructive criticism, Steve. After reading your comment, I tried
to sharpen the image to no avail. I photographed at this site for several hours.
As I recall, there was a gentle breeze sometimes causing flower movement.
In some cases I probably didn't wait long enough until the movement stopped.
I know that in some instances I tried less depth of field in order to get a faster
shutter speed and freeze the motion. Consequently, for one of the above reasons,
I didn't quite pull off the shot.
