A winner for sure.  The gradual lessening of the sharp focus eventually blending into the soft colors of the background flowers is very pleasing to view.  This should be printed large and hung proudly.

Yun - Very Special. Great focus on the main bloom and deft handling of the depth of field to create magic. Excellent Frame.

Most excellent, Yun !  Beautifully lit, composed and processed.  A feeling of gentle abundance ( if that makes sense indecision ) pervades the image.
