Dying to be blue


 
BetterPhoto.com Photo Contest Finalist   Dying to be blue
Dying to be blue
1/3, f 14.0, 105 mm, ISO 400, tripod, window light
Wanted to buy some flowers to play with my macro lens. I was struck by the stunningly blue dyed chrysanthemums and had to have them. Mums come in just about every color except blue!
