I love this image.  One day I hope to capture something that my mind's "eye" comes close to matching this one.
Was this a 1:1 macro or 1:2?

I love this image.... except.... maybe you could reduce the background somewhat. I find the light green circular  thingy above the flowers are forcing me to drift up to it and away from the blue.

Just a quick adjustment, but you get the idea.

..or even crop the upper area altogether and close in the right side to remove the farthest right grass blade. 

Thoughts??
