I took so many flower pictures in March and this one never ceased to be my favorite. It is a cluster of some kind of purply pink flowers that I put in a pot out front. I used my super macro setting and had aperture at 2.8.

Got distracted by this while looking for the Dane ;-) SO beautiful; I adore the DOF and of, course, the purple! The closed flower feels like it's reaching out to me in supplication.
Uh, yeah, this is a 6+ shot all the way. This was a messed-up scoring challenge from start to finish for some folks. I think you just got unlucky in the distribution of voters annoyed by the April Fool's shenanigans.
Judy~ I also agree with SandyP; I think this shot was underrated. this is (another) Lovely shot! you have a gift of making flowers look more beautiful then they intrinsically are! Strong work!
Right then, joke's on me as I now have to plough through 564 images and bump them all (yes, all of them) up. There'll be a third run through for fine tuning.
Dainty floral. Lovely colours. More in focus might have helped. 5
