Beautifully done, Carolyn :cool: - I like that petal edge in focus leaving the rest with just enough definition for the viewer to guess what the flower might be. Very artistic take on the Spiderwort :toast:

Excellent. Love the use of limited DOF and only the edge in focus. Comp works really well with the DOF. Very well done!

Excellent "lazy and dreamy" feel to this. The colors are just wonderful, nicely done.

A feast of colors, Carolyn! The stark structure is based on the warm and cold color contrast. Angle and composition are splendid too. I love this image.
Take care.
