Love these kinda of photo, kinda torn between how best to use DOF, I think on this onethe entire flower and bug should be in good focus and blurred background. Having one leaf noticably more in focus and the bug is on a different one draws the eyes to too many places. weel done
You've captured it right at take off!...thats really difficult to do alot of the time...goodness knows I've tried and failed many a time...the colors are great as is that DOF...great shot!
I've seen a lot of plants and trees... Yes, they meet the challenge, but where is the creativity... It's the image that stands out from the rest that wins me over.
