CENTAUREA CYANUS

Cornflower
Kornblume
Bleuet des champs

This beautiful flower from the Asteraceae family has been shown several times on this site. I saw that the almost closed button was also very attractive and had several beautiful blue and purple shades which look quite artistic.
The cornflower was one of my favourite flowers since my youth and I'm happy to notice that we see it again more in our fields.

Delightful 'portrait' of a Cornflower, Anne :).
The closed bud has a peculiar shape that you have turned into a work of art.
I like the simple composition a lot.
Regards.

This one is an award winner...indeed belonging in a frame...and behind your executives desk....too bad you probably don't have one..but I would proudly hang this image on the wall in a poster size format with simple aluminum frame!

Hello Anne
elegant composition with beautiful blue CENTAUREA, fine details and wonderful colors, great sharpness. Excellent focusing.
Livio

Ciao Anne,
grazie del tuo gradito e gentile commento alla mia immagine, di cui ho sottolineato la forzatura, che ritengo comunque appropriata alla motivazione e alla circostanza;
bellissima macro dal perfetto fuoco selettivo in cui vengono esaltati i dettagli dei petali del fiore ancora in boccio, splendida l'intensità dei colori e la ricchezza di sfumature, molto bello lo sfondo che accompagna magnificamente la scelta compositiva.
Grazie e complimenti.
Buona serata
Con amicizia
Maurizio

Hallo Anne
So simple and basic, yet so beautiful and striking. The two different colours of purple is great to look at and a feast to the eye. I like the very close approach; it makes the detail more visible and appreciative. Thanks for sharing. Best regards.
Anna

Hi Anne.
I like your romantic picture. Selected subject is simply amazing as well as manner of its capturing. I am impressed with fine DOF and combination of sharpness and blurriness. Lights and colours are also awesome. Nice, creative, artistic work. Many thanks.
Alexei.

ciao Anne!
mi piace molto la macro di questa centaurea,
con una luce soffice ma con dettagli vivi
...ritornando alla gara dell'Italia,per consolarci e' meglio perdere in queste manifestazioni di secondo piano,ma battere i brasiliani nei momenti giusti.
sono d'accordo con te,la squadra ha fatto una figura meschina!!

buon mercoledi' sERGIO

bonjour Anne
Moi aussi j'adore les bleuets, mais chez nous en Alsace, ça fait longtemps il n'y en a plus beaucoup et c'est dommage
ce bouton est aussi joli que la fleur elle-même et elle est superbement présentée
les couleurs de la photo sont magnifique, les détails sur le haut du bleuet sont excellents
Passe une bonne nuit
Jacqueline

Hi anne,
excellent capture of this lovely blue. Very sharp and the smoothness is very pleasant.
Ecery detail is well recorded and enhance further with the soft blurry background.
simple but very exciting shot.

regards,
Foozi

Gran delicadeza con mucha fuerza de las formas y los colores.

Abrazo.

Bonjour Anne,
Remarquable publication avec cette splendide macro minimaliste permettant d'apprécier la finesse des détails et la délicatesse des couleurs.
A bientôt sur TN pour de nouvelles aventures.
