good use of DOF

Agreed

Nice composition = )

great work.

Very nice! Is this some sort of cactus?

Fabulous shot...well done author...gl

It's a beautiful photo, but no gradual DOF as was the theme. The flower is perfectly in focus, and everything else very soft. Very well done, but not what was asked for.

o.k. i change my photo, is this on theme now?

Better

A bump in contrast would greatly improve this photo

couldn't have agreed any more

Grrrrr, I must not have an eye for this part of it

fixed

Beatutiful

Beautiful!! I didn't see it before but it looks very nice to me now.
