what is this doing way down here? This should have been on the first page in my eyes. Excellent in so many ways - I'm sorry ugly bugs scored higher than this! :-)
Superb shot! The black lines leading into this shot are perfect for drawing your attention into the softness of the center of this flower. Such a lovely color of salmon or pink. Then the details in the pistols of the flower bring you right back out and lead your eye out into the luscious blue of the flowers petals. I only gave one 8,9,10 and for you I gave a 9. Unbelievable it didn't do better! Cheers....Martin
very nice use of soft focus. Too many pics in this challenge have tried to pass of blurry pics as soft focus - but this one is really done well. bumping you to 8
lovely colours. Great use of DOF to create a strong effect. Red background on the left top and bottom is a bit distracting. May be better changed to black. 8
I love the colors here! Very nice perspective too. I really like the soft focus feel, but I feel like there's something not quite right about the DOF. It might be the haloing from the pistols, but I'm not sure.
I love the texture of the photo it reminds me of a piece of velvet. I think it was an awsome idea you have here with the decision to blur most of the flower turning it into pure color.
Not many blue flowers. This is really interesting how you softened it in areas. Would look great blown up quite large and singly hung in a contemporary setting. 8
I counted 70 flower shots (not counting the ones with bugs) in this challenge. I like the color in this one. The very narrow DOF is interesting, however, my eye keeps wanting to search for a more definate area to focus on. 8
