Cineraria

There are very few truly blue flowers, and this is
one of them. I found it really quite difficult to render
the color in post, as Lightroom wanted it to be magenta
rather than blue. I could get blue but it tended to be
quite flat, and the flower itself is gloriously blue.
This still isn't really quite right, but it's as close as
I could manage without getting all sorts of weird things
going on.

I had to look at this image several time on several different computers. This looks spectacular on my MacBook! At first I thought that the dof was not sufficient, but looking at it just now, I can appreciate the dof you've chosen.
