Awesome flower. One of my favorites. Looks like what we call a Himalayan Poppy, or Meconopsis. I hope there are still some in bloom in early September. We have plans to be in Iceland then.

Almost pastel like colors. The yellow works well with the blue. I like the composition, all the lines in the blue lead to the yellow, but all lines in the whole picture lead to somewhere not in the centre or to near the edge. It lacks the real sharpness punch but on the other hand the soft approach works pretty good. 7

Colors are good, focus is slightly soft but overall pleasing. Only suggestion I would have would be to crop a little tighter on the bottom and left to get rid of the middle of the eye so that the yellow stamens and blue are the only objects in your shot.

The blue here is very pretty, and the purple looking veins bring some texture to this picture.

5 - I do like this concept a lot. I think the blue needs to be bolder. If not using natural light and perhaps more focus, then even with a little pp. Also, either incorporating the green centre too or removing it altogether. More detail too.

Now this could have been the blue ribbon, but you just haven't hit the sharpness and saturation quite right.
