Unique chess pieces. I like the POV and the lighting resulting in the shadows and highlights, gives this a "larger than life" feel. You obviously put some thought into your composition in filling the frame with the blue pieces and their shadows but also composed the opposing/green pieces in between the spaces between the foreground with the shallow DOF... The colors (blues and greens) are great, yet the lighting and composition gives this image a lot of tension. On second and multiple looks after, I really like this pic. Hope it does well for you.

Beautifully soft; good separation of flowers - excellent use of a shallow dof.

Very pretty; love the muted colors and the OOF flowers perfectly complement the in-focus ones.

I did not intend to vote on any floral photograph. However the pastel colors and composition of yours warrants a vote!
