I love the lighting and the Dof used on this shot, I probably would have given it a 7-8 in the FS. Excellent Post processing, My only complaint is the pollen stem (thing in the middle of the flower) is to bright for me.
Count me in the "likes flowers" group. This is delicious. Whatever you did with it after the capture was just the right touch. Love the toning, texture, and light in this image.
The title fits well too.
Oh Darn, I was hoping this one would make the free study. It's so beautiful: the royal color tones, the way the blend of sharp texture fades into that gorgeous soft focus. A wow photo for sure!
an excellent flower photograph .. the blur works so well with the gorgeous areas of sharpness contrasting .. that one stamen sticking up, looking like its in that rule of thirds sweet spot, really adds that perfect element ... i love your processing and the purple hue ..:) .. sweet !!
ps .. regarding 'whistling' .. i was going to call it whistling dixie!!! .. makes perfect sense to an aussie!!
