This is one of the first photos I took as a photographer. I used my brand new D50 and the lens that came with it to compose this photo. Not knowing anything I used Picasa to edit and put the selective saturation on it. Then I cropped and edited with photoshop later. I still look at this shot as one of my all time greats!

I find the subtle fade to desaturation quite appealing in the particular image, lends a bit of intrigue. The more I gaze at this the more I enjoy it, beautiful bokeh also...very nice.
Good focus and I like the contrast between the blues and yellows. I also think the centered composition works for the shape of the flower. I really don't like the grey on the edge of the petals or background, though.
