This is a picture of an Arugula blossom, aka "rocket salad".  As I was taking the picture it was "photo bombed" by an uninvited visitor.....cant tell if he is smiling or not.

A well composed shot with a nicely blurred BG. I would have tried for a bit more DOF, to include a bit more of the flower head.

Ry: Another great party crasher. I think this DOF works well although I do concede Phil's point. I would be tempted to do a bit more editing. A small crop off the bottom and making the dark spot in the RLC would make this stronger and even cloning away the OOF leaf straining to look out of the frame.>=))>

Very nicely lit, Ry, against a beautifully graded backdrop.  Think I agree with Phil re the dof - just a shade too much not in focus for my eye
