I would prefer the whole kettle in the picture, still very good (not sure about the vote yet, just started, but above average for sure :)

I agree the vertical stem is a little distracting. But everything else is perfect, love it! I wonder what this would look like cropped really close?

Beautifully taken! Love the deep yellow and the bokeh is excellent, a little rough & impressionistic.

Oh how beautiful. The narrow DOF is just superb. I love it. :)

Weeeeeee, I love this one. A bit of humour and movement with the distinct sound effect I've been looking for. Top three vote for me. Good luck for putting us all to shame.

As Roz said, DOF makes this one. I'm not sure what to think about the diagonal stem, if it helps or interferes with the shot. If it was not there, all the nice verticals would be more prominent working with the circle of the flower. Framing was good to put the flower where the BG is dark, and let the stem go right up the tree in the BG.
