I love the softness of this image. You have done a great job of creating a nice example of an 'impressionistic' painting, IMHO. I wonder what this image would look like with just the flower... Would it be possible to drape the background of this one with a dark cloth or something to let the flower really stand out? I originally scored this image with an 8 but after looking more closely, i think it deserves a 10. good shot! = 10 - jmsetzler

Very nice effect here. The colors are very delicate and yet well saturated. The soft focus effect on the outside edges make this photo one of my 10 best this week..hokie

Your transparency makes a nice soft focus filter. It gives an almost surreal look to the photograph.

Guess there's no avoiding a flower shot -- I assume I'm looking through some type of glass, but it's just not clear enough to tell...

gorgeous. This looks like an oil painting. I wish the petal in the foreground were a bit clearer but great job!

The focus gives a most painterly quality. It's a gorgeous photo, regardless of how it fits within the challenge topic. Masterful handling of your tools.
