I originally was going to title this "Naked Ladies" because the flowers are called naked ladies. However, I wasn't sure everyone would know that naked ladies refered to the flowers and thought it might be better to change it.
To create the 'soft focus' effect, I cut out a piece of plastic grocery bag to fit on my lens and cut a hole in the middle. I am very greatful that someone mentioned in the forums that soft focus isn't just an out of focus picture, and how to achieve the soft focus effect. Thanks! :)

Breathtaking... I am ever so glad I came back to re-visit this image, as I missed some very important aspects of it on my first pass. I do hope the voting public takes the time to fully appreciate the piece of art you have created here. Very well done indeed.
