I think this is gorgeous... the colors are amazing the bokeh is perfect, and the composition stellar!! I love how clear and vibrant it is!!!
The only annoying thing about it is the web line... it is kind of distracting... i actually think it was the first thing i noticed... but... with that said... i still really like this!! :-)
Having just read Doc's comments, I'll contradict slightly by saying that *I* actually liked a lot of the shots with the cooler tones, including this one. Also note that I'm horrible at picking winners and don't have any ribbons... :-)
You have some things going for the shot here. I like the leading line and the composition. The bokeh is nice. I think the biggest think here is the tones are very cool. Flowers, mainly, like warm and cheery tones. Banmorn may have something to say about that, but in an outdoor, non-studio shot, I would go for warmth. That's really my biggest beef with the shot.
If I changed anything else, I may recompose just a bit. I'm not quite sure about the flowers trailing out of the frame. Perhaps it would have been better if they ended before the edge. Would have to see it though...
Digitalis? or foxglove? The spider web is a little distracting - but that is the type of thing one brings back home and finds out later. Green bokeh works.
I already voted, now back for comments. I gave you an 8 on this shot. Lovely colors, nice subject and bokeh. The very bright whites at the top detract a little as does the blurred purple at the edges of the in focus flower. Maybe a different angle could have eliminated this.
