Just Another Flower Bokeh

Like the color and the idea behind this image. Having the centered flower in sharpest focus is a good idea.

Soft focused foregrounds generally are not as pleasing as soft focused backgrounds. They tend to be more distracting. In your case the 'quality' of the bokeh is better in the foreground than the background. However, that being said, I'd still consider cropping about 20% off the bottom even though the background bokeh is on the harsh side.

Beautiful color combination, nicely composed and a good example of using bokeh to support your main subject.

Leaf Among Many

Comment:
Pleasing greens, nicely composed, good leaf sharpness. Color and composition are the strengths of this image. The only down side is the irregularities along the leaf border in the bokeh in the upper right. That will hurt you with some voters.

Congrats on your first 6 and a personal best score with a very fine image. It is rare a picture finishes with only 1 score below a 4. Color and composition are what makes this one good.

Fantastic image that meets the challenge better than the vast majority of submissions. I'd like to see the people that scored it this low prove they can do better. I gave you a '10' and am proud of it.
