Beautiful. Very nicely composed. I like the shallow dof with the nice clean bg, and the low perspective.

A very nice glimpse into the heart of this flower. Beautiful work.

I like the concept here, but for me the OOF petals in the foregound are too much.

I like the peek-a-boo view of the focused center of the flower through the blurred petals. The background color is kind of bland but is actually very appropriate since when Crocus are blooming, there is usually very little other color around. I guess that's why Crocus are so welcomed and appreciated. . .they are a foretaste of spring and the beginning of more color in our world. I like your POV too allowing us to see some of the details under the flower.

Thank you all for the kind comments. We wanted to show the lower part of the flower, but we also wanted to see the center.

D&L: I always look forward to early spring to look at all the crocus shots. They won't grow in our part of Texas so I'm condemned to shooting them vicariously through the lens of our more northern members. Wonderful DOF/POF choice. >=))>
