Love the subtle pinks, however this feels a little unbalanced to me.

Judylynn-

I think its a very nice composition. Taking pictures of blue morning glories with film in sunlight usually makes the color shift toward magenta. These are a digital capture however. Is this the true color to your memory?
At any rate, the pink flowers really look nice against the blue sky! I think that by using less fill flash and/or a polarizer, the colors may have stood out even more. I can see what looks like some stems that were cloned out along the edge of the top flower. I find it difficult to clone next to edges like this too. Perhaps one of the photoshop experts here can give us some tips. Very fine flower grouping! Well done!

For cloning around a high contrast area like the flower, use the magic wand tool to click on the sky, then use the clone tool without fear since the flower will be protected. -gc-

Beauty of a shot. Nice background and flowers. My only wish is that the upper flower were oriented more like the lower flower without the unopened bloom in the way.

The cloning done in the upper right distracted my eyes right when this one opened.
Not a easy shot to get considering the light, and the sharp/detailed foliage gives me a very busy feel within the image.
