The blues!
I spent not less than 45 min to make this image. The light was slowly getting high and the temp was getting hot. My challenge was to retain the colors on the flower and the including the cloud in the frame. Tried some images by using the built-in flash to get the fill flash but later dint like the idea at all. The flower was at a very low height from the ground and making the image at this angle was a great challenge for me as I should not disturb the dragonfly as well. It went furious on me for couple of times and went away. But it was kind enough to come back on the same place. :)

I think your attempt at seeing things differently paid off here Ashwin ! Low angle and blue sky adds a lot. I would have used little bit of fill flash to this image.

Probably one of my favorites of your collection. The clouds in the frame just adds icing to the cake.

I like the way the attempt to retain the low angle for the clouds and the blue flowers add to the image, agree with Ganesh on a hint of fill flash.

Very diligent work that's paid off! And how! Beautiful blue background and it's so difficult to maintain the colours of these flowers against the sky! Very nice visualisation!
