Christian, you are building up a nice collection of wild flowers. These are very nice, the composition and colours are good and the note good too. Thanks for posting.

Beatiful shot! The DOF in this shot is very good and so is the composition. Thanks for posting

Just about my favourite colour of blue ;-)
Very good sharpness and DOF, nice light and *beautiful* colours ;-)
However, with flowers you have an advantage you don't get with bugs: You can weed out the straws clogging up the photo without scaring it off. I think you should have done this here, as it would have separated the flowers better from the bg.

Nice Christian.
Great colors , good Dof and good composition.
Well done.
