nice effort, well done. dof could have been better, it is more to the back of the bloom, and therefore throwing the foreground oof.....it might have been better to focus on the centre of the bloom.

is that your name in the description?

you need to remove your name from the desciption.......

The focus is wrong, good attempt.

It is a bit out of focus.

Out of focus.

try again author, I will hold my vote......

Out of focus, too close to the flower.

imo, the focus could be sharper....I do like the lighting though.

It seems a bit out of focus.

Nice choice of flower but I probably would have shot it closer in or cropped it to give it a more artistic composition and detract from the lack of sharp focus.

blood lily...but your entry is off topic due to the background

sorry author I have to agree.............while it is okay to have a background, this one is too distinctive to be within th ebounds of the guide for the contest. A nice shot though!

oh sorry...

I am assuming that the focus on this is deliberate author, although, imo, it is a little too much out of focus.

agrees
