That 'hair' originates from the stem. I was not sure if I could crop the picture in this category. Thanks for all the comments. :)

I see a little hair on the top left side. I would have cropped the top area off.

for me if your going to use one whole flower for your picture it should be razor sharp and totally in focus...JMO

Beautiful and a good shallow DOF. Shame about the 'whisp' at the top of the pic.

Great use of depth of field. It makes this flower stand out amongst the other 'hearts' in this challenge.
