It's a good idea to match the color of the windows with that of the bench. I also really like the yellow flowers, which seem to be rudbeikias, in perfect harmony with the blue.

Hello Elaine,
J'aime beaucoup l'ambiance de cette photo avec le banc assorti aux volets de la maison et au milieu de toutes ces belles fleurs.
Un bon livre, une tasse de thé, et je m'y assied bien volontiers.
Je te souhaite une belle journée. Caresses à Stella, j'espère qu'elle va bien.

The dominant blue beautifully contrasts with the other colors, but it's the entire image that strikes for its richness of hues, reminiscent of a French Impressionist painting.

A relaxing oasis as one is enveloped by the colorful blossoms! I love how the bench matches the windows. A great find for the prompt.

I like the composition, and I also like the hints of blue throughout the scene. Bench is a great anchor point.
