I like the general flow of this shot. The composition of the lines is amazing and offers a sense of stability. On a second look, this flower creeps me out. it reminds me of those arachnid things in starship troopers!

Not a bad shot but I don’t see the bokeh effect, the blur background should have circular patterns to it.

A little dark. better if some of those black seeds (?) weren't out of focus.

beautiful shot - I think the blur makes it more of a portrait, but I also think the additional blurred flower in the BG makes it more interesting.

Definitely meets the challenge and exhibits proper bokeh. The subject matter leaves me wanting (not because it's a flower - I have nothing against flowers - it just lacks a "wow" factor for me). Good luck!

I like the detail and the dof on this image. I would have loved the image even more if the shadows on the flower were either not as bold, or were diffrent.
