Canon 7D 2.8 60 mm lens. HH ISO 1000,1/200 @f2.8
Didn't have my tripod handy so I really needed to boost the ISO to get the center sharp. NR applied

Afraid it doesn't work for me as is. If the wanted effect was to focus only on the flower's interior, I would apply a blur to the sharp area of the outer petal and to the leaf at the base.

I like the flower and the soft light. Something is lacking for me, perhaps the DOF is a bit shallow or the BG color a bit dull.

Sorry you two don't like it. i'm a sucker for selective focus and I do like it but for some reason my uploads seem to look dull on this site color wise but great on my screen. Mzybe I need to calibrate.

I do like this comp. The selective focus works nicely and the detail of the center are good.

Cheryl,
I like the DOF control and the colors though the big white OOF area is a little distracting. Maybe darken it up a bit?
