Lovely use of select focus. And the colors? Well they are outstanding.

Sweet. Colors and shape of flowers.. and the echo....adds a nice touch. I am debating with self over dof and whether the entire left flower would be better with more ... I'd like to see the yellow throat with sharp contrasting lines.

Well done...!!

I am breathless Bill. Beautiful shot. I love the selective focus and the way you have positioned it off center to create that interest. Well done!

Excellent composition, Bill, with themain flower beautifully placed. Like very much the dof, which fades the furthest petals of the fg flower into the bg echoing one. Lovely image !
