Beautiful image. I like the lighting on the leaves in the foreground and the colors in this. The plain area behind the stems does a lot to set off the flowers from the background and make leading lines to the flowers at the same time.
I'm sick of flowers as I finish my voting in this challenge, but this one is stunning. I'm not sure it's best example of softness, but the colors and lighting more than make up for it. Beautiful. An eight for you.
