Like what you did. (Don't know if you shot in macro, which nearly always chooses f2.8, but a smaller aperture might have given more definition to the nearer parts of the petals, still blurring the background. If that is what you want. I am only just beginning to try this with my Panny).

Very nice color, and you got some nice veining in the petals.

You know it's fun to see these blossoms up close and "in your face" and you've done that here.

Yes, an f-stop of anything from (say) 2.8 to 5.6 would have blurred out the background, but what you have is totally fun.

Keep up the good seeing.

Comment by SoulMan1978:
It's a nice scene, but the lighting is a little harsh (a bright day?) I'd perhaps have suggested shooting this on an overcast day or in late evening/early morning. However from my own experience time/weather don't always co-operate in the limited time we have available to shoot for these challenge so I won't mark too harshly.

I do like the blue/orange combination, but the lighting does wash these colours out a bit. Sorry.

Comment by drydoc:
Yes. I do like this one more. The attention is definitely on the icy looking flowers. I am glad you shared it with everyone.

Pretty flower. I would have like to have seen a deeper contrast between the background ant the flower. I think it would pump up the volume of the flower. imho
