Nice photo. You have a solid background color, which i guess is out of focus, because the petal in the background is also out of focus. I do like the photo very much, but I don't think that this is a clear case of bokeh, but that doesn't mean that it is not. After looking at this again, I reconsidered my score.

One thing I would change in this photo is get rid of the things in the background on the righ edge, and bottom right corner - they are a little distracting

THIS is beautiful! It's so striking the way just the center is sharp and comes out of that beautiful soft bokeh. This is one of the best flower shots in the challenge! Great job!

Good depth of field on the subject but I would have liked to have seen more detail or texture for the background
