I'm wishing for a little more depth of focus where the whole bloom is sharp Craig.. This is subjective, and I like the composition.

I like the DOF as is! If you have it I would add a little bit more space to the right of the tulip...but otherwise this turned out great! I also like the soft focus tulip in the BG

Ambivalent about the bg tulip in this one, Craig, but I sure like the dog and lighting on the subject flower. Let's see some more!

I like the dof, Craig. It gives this an almost impressionistic look.

Craig:

Always enjoy seeing your tulips every year and this one is no exception. Beautifully done and just the right dof and bg echo of another bud. Wish for a little more room on the right.

This is a beautiful tulip, enhanced by the gentle backlighting. I also like the impressionist sense of background. I find myself wishing for a bit more space on the right.
