Outstanding shot, Elisabeth!! I like everything about it – the composition, the colors, the DOF, the BG. Well done.

I like the colors and the BG, but overall this is not my favorite shot of yours Elisabeth. I much prefer the other soft focus shots that you posted a while back.

Elisabeth: This is delightful. The bud is a huge plus for me. Well seen and captured. >=))>

Beautiful colors Elisabeth. Interesting range of comments - Bill likes the bud but for me it disrupts a scene of soft blues and yellows. So I would prefer the image without the bud. That's my only reservation about the image. Even so, lovely image as posted.

I'm torn on this one for the focal point. The bud vs the bloom.

Lovely color palette and nice softness to the image. The bloom and bud are competing for attention though.

Lovely, natural image, Elisabeth. I like the free composition - it suits the subject so well, and the colours are gorgeous !
