I like the photo and subject. The blue in the flower is really nice. If I were you I would crop in from the left to eliminate that other smaller flower in the corner, it kind of distracted me from the main focus of the picture. And also maybe crop a little bit up from the bottom as well. Secondly, if you have the opportunity to take this photo again, or one like it..use a larger aperture to throw the background out of focus and just keep the flower looking sharp. Nice picture.

douglas, Welcome

If your schedule allows, waiting for a bit of Sun will give much better color and detail. If you have fill-flash, it can help some. This is a good photo, just a little greyed, as in overcast daylight.

really nice flower if I was to shoot this again I would most certianly get closer to the flower. Sometimes the most simple things can improve an image the most.
