Love this one Craig. Real magic for me in your dof decision, light and post processing. Superb image for my tastes.

I really like the fade from sharp in the foreground. Great light and composition.

A beauty Craig. The light is really sweet. Soft focus is something I'm attempting to delve into but haven't yet came up with anything post-worthy. This is something to aspire to. Nice.

Great shot Craig..the transition of the focus is wonderful in this, and the light and color add to a already beautiful shot, well done !!

Craig, I think this is just lovely. The color, the DOF, the detail in the FG flowers.
Minor suggestion and that would be to give the flowers a little more breathing room by expanding the canvas.

Cheers,

Carol

Great job shooting and processing this to highlight these beautiful orange tulips and the dark BG.

Great color, I like the placement of the flowers and the slight softening of the DOF as my eyes work their way into the image. Well done.

Craig:
Lovely. The blooms seem to be floating in the black bg. Very nicely done.
