I have no idea what this plant is but I'm pretty certain it's not native to Northern England!
After spending 3 glorious clear days in the office during the week we got a wet, windy, overcast weekend. Had to wait for a gap between showers then patiently wait for the wind to die down to get the touch of extra DoF I wanted without any motion blur.

Very nice focus. The angle and framing/cropping are very nice. I really like how the fallen petals are sitting down there on the leaf. you can see them, but they aren't distracting from the main focal point. the colors are great, and lighting is very nice as well. Great shot. Good luck in the challenge.
This is a gorgeous flower photo. The composition is tight, the DOF brings my attention right to those two flower heads. The background of leaves is lovely. Very nice work.
I keep coming back to this one without a vote. I like the flowers and yet something about it sets wrong with me. I think it is the falleng petals on the leaf in the bottom right. Good shot anyway. DPz
I don't think the DOF works on this picture. Personally I would have gone for either a wider or more shallow DOF on this photo. it's kind of in between. I like the white flowers against the green background. It is hard to really see the definition of the flowers though. Pretty good composition. Also there are some hotspots on the leaves. I think it fits the challenge. I'm giving you a 6.
I like the way this shot is set up... The little flower buds sitting down on that leaf that are out of focus add a lot to this shot. The Depth of the shot works great. well done.
