The soft focus is out of focus. The flowers are oversaturated.

maybe try Edit>Fade 45-50% directly after your blur; follow with unsharp mask? just a thought

great composition, just need to sharpen the edges up a bit while the rest of the image retains that soft focus effect, in my opinion at least, regards

there is a fine line i think between soft focus and out of focus, and to me, i'm sorry to say, the butterfly seems to be in the latter camp. the flowers, on the other hand, fit in the former lot! very weird mix - i guess this might have been aluded to in your title! i've said this on a couple of other entries, but i personally do not feel the image is enhanced by the soft focus; if it were sharp (especially the butterfly) i think it would frankly rock - which makes the soft treatment mildly disappointing. the colours and composition are both extremely visually pleasing; and the background complimentary to the whole shot and style. really good, but for me, not great. 6.

Beautiful photo, the colors and composition are great. I think that the focus may be too soft on this, but take that opinion for what it's worth, I'm being told mine is too sharp. The DOF is very nice also, with the blurred background.
