On my screen, this comes off a little soft, but it's a pretty flower nevertheless.

Really gorgeous shot, I may have found the blue or the red. The dof is amazing.

Comment by Bear_Music:
It's a lovely quote, and a striking scene, but there's a flatness to it that's disturbing.

Comment by PapaBob:
I really like the color but the DOF to me misses the mark, The front petal and the middle of the flower have the best focus but they are not as interesting as The Stamen would be, IMO either changing to focal point to the area of the Stamen or adding some DOF to include the Stamen in the focal plane would have been nice. Good luck in the challenge.
