More than anything in this image, I liked how the focus was on the buds, while the actual flowers and background looked more like a painting.

Nice colors and choice of DOF, and the bokeh gives it a nice painterly feel.. Only nit is I would probably crop or clone the stray blossom and leaves from the bottom edge.

Beautiful colors Roger and I particularly like the bg. I would probably clone out some of the pieces at the very bottom or crop a little from the bottom right corner. I might also like a tad more dof but I'd hate to give up any of the bg.

Agree. Clone out the bottom elements and the bright oof flower in the bottom and you have a winner.

Roger: I like your POF on the buds. I think I would make the stuff on the bottom edge disappear but that's pretty trivial. I almost wish the first flower was a bit more oof but since you were at f2.8 already there's not much you could have done. Well seen and nicely captured.>=))>
