Love it. I especially like the lavender hue in all the streakiness.

Good title. I really like that flowers in very different stages are all tightly grouped. Nice capture!

Nice composition, I like the way this shot comes together. I wish the dof was a bit deeper.

Often it seems like the shallow dof closeups leave a of the subject oof unintentionally. In this case it not only seems deliberate, but really makes for a great shot! I love how the subject's "private parts" flatten losing depth, falling to the background while the petal's edge, replete with dew drop, pops irresistibly drawing the eye.

Outstanding in the Field

Ah, well done! I love the way the background steps back to provide a perfect backdrop for the subject that really pops! Just great!

Beautiful. In contrast to many other shots in the challenge, I really like the clean, flawless background, it really helps this shot.

I love this shot. Was this a 1s+ exposure? I love the streaky oof areas that suggest motion with the poppy sharply the focal point. Well done!
