Had to once again, quickly get a shot in for Team 5.0. I have been so busy with moving. I was upset I couldn't get anything better than flowers, but it will have to do. Found these lil beauty's in my garden. Don't think this will score too well, but hopefully enough for a Team win. :)

Delicate, luminous - DOF makes the flowers seem to float apart from reality. Color cast is a bit cold - I wonder how it would look with a bit more reds and yellows?
