Out and about looking for macro shots when I came across a garden of poppies. I liked how the wind was affecting them so tried several angles to get the background the way I wanted.

Soft focus is scrumptious here, like buttah. Quick, edit the specs on this one and put it in the blur gallery. :)

Wow, poppies! Love it. The colours are really good in this one.

would have been better if the front flower was sharper. I know you were going for a dreamy feel. but a tad over done

The depth of field is good, and the color is nice. I'm not entirely crazy about the sharpness of the main poppy. I think it would look nicer if it weren't a soft focus and was sharper. Also, It might have been nicer had you been slightly above the poppy instead of horizontal with it. It seems like the pedal is hiding the more interesting parts of it.

the background is cool, and if the soft focus is what you were achieving then well done. i have a problem w/ soft focus shots as i love sharpness. so i'd take this shot at a higher shutter speed and get the subject poppy in focus while dof'ing the background out of focus.
