'Just' – that dismissive, diminishing adverb again. 'Just', meaning 'no more than', or 'only'. It's a word used comparatively, and it's not usually a compliment.
The picture of the Cosmos bloom is, (let's use the word another way), 'just beautiful', 'just perfect' even. Leave aside comparisons, and consider the line from a song I heard Ray Stevens sing when I was 'just 20'
"Everything is beautiful, in its own way".
Just so!
