Nice job dodging the butterfly, its very subtle but still gives a little extra kick to the light. Really nice shot.

Nice dof, got the flower in focus and a nice blurry background so it is highlighted in the frame.

Very pretty though a little hard to see, looks like the camera exposed for the sky there. Beautiful, rich reds.

Some of you folks sure are crazy about the bugs! Super sharp detail on the bee. Maybe bump up the purples some?

It's like I've dusted off a snow covered window and am looking out on huge flowers.

No, no - dof is great! Still got that creamy background blur while being able to have a lot of the subject in really sharp focus. What a great shot.

From an image quality point of view, this is a poor photo and was destined to get creamed in a free study.

From an emotional impact point of view, this is one of the strongest images I have seen on this site. The look in her eyes, I can't even describe how I interpret it. You really, really caught an exceptional moment in time.
