Everyone keeps mentioning the crop. I didn't crop this at all. This is how I framed it in the viewfinder. Maybe it's an old habit from learning on film cameras but I always try to get it right before I hit that shutter, not after.

this was one of my highest scores given in this challenge Rachel ..
its quite stunning ..
and btw .. when i say crop .. i'm just saying how you have presented the image to me .. it could have been achieved in camera or after ... and i agree .. try and get it right in camera .. altho i usually dont .. get it right that is .. ;)
a very interesting crop .. at first i tried to scroll up then realized that you had cropped the top off the flowers .. then i sort of got into this ..
and loved it .. the shallow depth of field and the blur are absolutely wonderful .. so beautiful and gorgeous .. the light .. perfecto .. !! ... the desaturated appearance .. what can i say .. i'm just loving this pic .. :)
