I like the glowing effect you put in this shot. It's almost like you can see the aroma.

Wonderful. Would have done well in the soft focus challenge as well.
I definitely like the soft effect, good composition and nice colors.
You know, the lilly bulbs smell even better. I have worked four years in the lilly business. Taking their heads off (the rotting heads have a very distinctive smell), weeding, digging them up, cleaning (the bulbs are washed in a gigantic washer), sorting, peeling (the flakes of a lilly bulb can be grown to create a new one) etc... All stages have their own smell, I can recall them all, they were all good. It was hard work, but satisfying.

Great shot I love the focus on this one.

Too soft, not enought to carry the fragrance

Beautiful soft focus. This would work well in the soft focus challenge too.

nice use of soft focus. colors and glow - a real atmosphere that begins to capture the intense aroma of the stargazer, wish the crop wasn;t in so close on the flower, i'd like to see more edges of petals.

Nice shot. Could probably use some brightness/contrast tweaking though. Other than that its nicely done.

Softness is excellent here. Good shot, tender. Love it.

Quite lovely. I adore the soft focus on this, as well as the lighting and color. I would have preferred to be able to see the green of the stem to balance the bit of green on the right and at the top.
