I really like the way the lighting and DOF make the flower glow.

Lovely bokeh complements the color of the lily.

I like that you got a photo with an insect. The lighting does wash out some of the details making it very difficult to remedy during post-processing.

Focus is excellent! Did you think about cropping vertically to include more of the stem?

I like the bg lights except I think the one in the center somewhat detracts from your composition. I love the delicate shape of the flowers.

The border works with this fill-the-frame shot. Yes, perfect for a card.

I agree, the petals need to be really sharp. But I like the glow and your choice of deep blue in the background.

Day 3 - Clematis

Sometimes the best light for taking pictures here in the midwest is just before or after a storm.
I like that the focus is right on the stamens. I don't know whether increasing saturation would improve this bc I like the soft colors. Maybe a tighter crop right to the edge of the left petals and a tiny bit off the right, maybe to the green line.

Oh, WOW! This was made for soft focus. I agree with everyone - this is very dreamy and well composed.
