Comment by FranziskaLang:
challenge met. i hope people look at your photo long enough to understand it, it took me a second. i really like the idea, i almost submitted something similar to the "something new" challenge. the difficult thing to control is that the flower in the background is so bold and dominant in its color that it overpowers the remains of the flower in the foreground (or is it a bud?) it also draws the eye to the out of focus part of the photo. anyway, love the colors, i would probably have zoomed out just a tad so you didn't clip the edges of the blooming flower. because it's so little that's chopped off it looks accidental rather than on purpose. :)

I would like to see the whole photo in focus. And the complete flower in the frame

Really nice picture. I like the brightness of the colors and the closeup of the flower. It is really good.

the fact that the red flower is out of focus annoys me

I think a deeper depth of field would have been more effective because we are expected to show the before AND the after. Jacko.

I see what you were trying here. It's a bit over exposed.
