I think this is a gorgeous picture. I would have given it a 10 if I had seen it during the challenge.

Its kind of like its snap shot from a dream.
But there is no place for the eyes to rest, needs larger DOF for this flower. You should try this on diffrent flowers or angles.
6 or 7 if I where in a good mood.

Wow, very creative, original shot. Don't know what it's doing all the way down here. I hope you keep shooting good new stuff that doesn't appeal to the masses!

Underrated. I gave this shot a 10. I don't think I would have done anything differently. This photo is just one that is above the level of a general population vote :)

Beautiful imagery. I like the soft focus and luminescence. Is this effect straight from the camera or from post processing? If the former, I'd love to know how you got it to turn out this well.

too shallow DOF

I obviously don't know what your vision was, but for my taste, the blur is too extreme and covers too much area. The flower also appears to be squashed up against glass, giving it a less appealing look IMO.

I hope you don't get hammered too much by the "but there's almost nothing in focus" voter. I think this is a stunning image of an every-day object. I especially like the petals to the right, I wonder if this would be an even stronger shot if you cropped a bit off the top since the top left part of the image has virtually no texture or shadow to speak off.

Wow! The colors are amazing and the softness really compliments the flower very well. Thanks for sharing. Jacko. 10
