Hi guys, thanks for the numerous comments- I am speechless

So I did a crop: a bit the top, a bit the bottom.
Like it more, cheers!

Excellent "airy" focus and processing. Just took a look at the first one too, and I like them both. This one certainly is more "concentrated" and I like the comp, with the main subject up on the corner. I think that works well with a square image.

Very pretty bokeh here Sindy, especially with the stacked/layered patterns.

Sindy:
Saw your previous post but did not comment as I agree with most of the comments made already. I like this tighter crop and the color wash in the bg. Although I like the top bloom in the previous post, removing it makes the viewer focus only on one bloom rather than darting between two competing elements.

Sindy,

I like this very much. For my tastes it's a much stronger image than the first.

I too think this is stronger than the first. Viewer attention goes right to the one in the focus and then to the colorful OOF background. Good call on the crop, Sindy

Nice soft focus on this picture. I like your choice of DOF with the clarity on the center of the front flower. Beautiful color for the BG. I actually like both posts of this flower; they are different but both good.

Beautiful colors, perfect blurring and softness and then great focus.

The focus on the flowers is much stronger here. I apologize for being hard to please, but the sharp flower at the top feels a bit too close to the top for me.

This does work better for me. More prominence to the flower in focus. Well done.

Sindy: This is eye candy for a color junkie like me. Love the pastel BG and your DOF management. I like both of your images but might give this one a very small edge. Well done.>=))>
