I am guessing that they are real since there are now two of them in the same shot. Wonderful use of DOF.

This says alot to me, firstly it speaks about how beauty is bout a minute in time and about death and dying.

I think the processing on the flower is really nice the colors are vibrant and the details are sharp. JMO, the Dof is done well to give knowledge of the dead and dying flowers around it.

I really think that the composition on this one with the "living" to be in the middle really works on this one. Overall I really like it I am guessing it was done with a telephoto lens due to the velvet feeling of the background, I get this with my telephoto as well.

Too cool! I've never seen one of these before -- it doesn't look real!

P.S. Nice processing and use of bokeh. 8)

Looks like Physalis alkekengi, winter cherry, and a very nice photo of it too. Most people only ever capture the red papery covering, but this is just as beautiful, if not more so.

Wow - interesting structure! Focus seems to be on the foreground though - subject is a bit blurred. Also a spec to the right of the top "ball" that could be cloned out.
