I took this shot today. It was quite windy, so my DOF was limited.

DOF is perfect. The wild columbine loves blowing in the wind or else has distracting backgrounds. You've done a nice job isolating the flower and I like the nice blurred background. Well done!

Raymond: While the wind may have forced a shallow DOF I think it works in your favor. Excellent shot. >=))>

Great capture and detail of the columbine bloom. Background is perfect. Anymore detail there and it would be a big distraction.

Love the BG and the overall image isn't bad either. Nice work.

Beautiful. The background sets off the bloom wonderfully.

Great isolation of this blossom, and nice sharpness despite the wind!!
