This is my first picture, jeij. I was going to submit it into the flower challenge but later discovered it was only for members. It may not be very fitting for this challenge but I wanted to submit it.

Nice, clear flower, well set off from the dark green background.
However, the central composition is boring. The "she loves me, she loves me not" concept comes across much clearer with some missing petals instead of one whole, intact flower.
It's a lovely flower. But it doesn't say "she loves me" unless some petals have been plucked, or unless a young lady is in the process of pulling the petals off. IMO.
beautiful focus, lighting and DOF. this works for this challenge, bokeh and flowers. lol its a multi talented flower. would like this a bit better with one or two petals plucked
I like the photo idea and the fact that the DOF is pretty tight, but it would have had even more impact on me if you were closer to the flower, if the flower was off-center, and if taken at an angle other than top-down. Very nice though. :)
