Description Taken at the Cleveland MetroParks Zoo - Cleveland, OH

This pretty allium type flower was growing in the shade of a large and beautiful oak tree near the Gumleaf Hideout and the Stellar Sea Eagle area. I was walking up to see the Sea Eagle and Condor when I saw these flowers sticking up and snapped off a few photos.

I do like how I got a nice blend of colors with the purples, blues and greens--it wasn't intentional to get the blue sky like that, I thought it'd just end up being white-ish bokeh, but hey. My camera surprises me sometimes and meters for the light as well as the shadow.

from my point of view you have captured these flowers very well...the composition is nice, the colours too. Just the background is a little bit too turbulent (it is my matter of taste)

Thanks! And I can see what you mean--the flowers themselves are already detailed and you'd want a nice smooth background for them to help them really stand out.
