This is the Grist Mill at Haywood Community College. Kind of a lame example of some of the wonderful "flora" we have in this area, but everything seems to be "late bloomers" this Spring. Plenty of dandelions though! :-)

Great concept - would like to see this shot with the background just a little more in focus (which I normally wouldn't say, but I'm curious as to what that is in the background). good job.
Very effective use of DOF -- would be interested in seeing this with some illegal filter (e.g. watercolor) run on the background only...and maybe a thicker outer border.
excellent use of shallow depth of field... i think the lighting on the flower could be a bit stronger to make it punch a little more... nice work :) - setzler
I love how your mind concieved this shot.................really neat. The covered bridge, water, light, and colors is really special. Nice work. I hope to see more like this, it's soooooo interesting and different.
