 Because everyone needs a cheesy cliche pic in hopes of winning a ribbon sometime.

Supermacro shot, I used neatimage twice HAH to get the softfocus, changed brightness and contrast in elements, and used elements to ad the border too! YAY!

Not very thrilled about the frame. I don't think it improves the picture, which is very good.

Beautiful image, but your main subject doesn't seem to have enough soft focus (or any?).

This is very sharp. This would have been great for the bokeh challenge.

IMHO this shows a control of DOF rather than soft focus, I do like the composition and colours :o)

soft focus? this is more an out of focus background which is not the intention of the challenge
