Still going through my folders and finding images to process on these gray days. Thought I'd share one I worked with this morning.

Ned:Gorgeous main bloom. The BG is a bit busy for me, especially the OOF flower directly behind the main subject. I do like your DOF choice. >=))>

Beautiful image Ned and I particularly like the warm summer mood the image evokes. Ideally the soft bloom directly behind the main bloom would be farther back in the bg or absent - at least for my tastes. Even so, this is a very appealing image to me.

Nice to see the fg oof flowers with main subject, Ned. Beautiful soft glow, too. Nice one.

The bloom fills the dark area of the background well Ned, nice DOF choice too. The OOF bloom behind hinders the comp a bit.

The main flower is excellent, but I find the background a bit distracting. I do like the composition and the soft colors.
