I didn;t feel that the focal point was sharp enough to pull of the very shallow DOF. I love the comp and idea.

Hi 'Cherie',

Stumbled onto this photo at pbase earlier this evening. Wanted to leave a comment there later, I also like that shot of the field with the tree a lot. But now I see it again here.

This one is great, the symmetry and soft colors are very entertaining. Perhaps the top part is hurt by overexposure around the edges, creating some softness and strange color effects on the rose petals, but that is not so important here.
The rose looks like it bends down to have a good look at itself. What it finds is a kind of blue dreamworld. The shades and tones of blue there are wonderful (the color blue is my fav color).
No matter how I twist my head, I like what I see. :)
Good luck!

Very nicely done, the background maybe a little over cooked but the reflection is nice
