Shot with an extension tube, soft focus achieved a little bit in camera, a little bit in processing, with a few normal-mode fades of gaussian blur after an extreme pass of USM.

No comments during the challenge? There's a gif for that, you know - you can find it on my profile page. :-) I like the combination of softness and very shallow DOF here. Great color, too.
omg no comments! And now I really feel bad that I did not get a chance to finish commenting in the challenge.
I gave this a 7. The part that really caught my eye was the spiky thing in the middle. I also liked how the outer green tips seemed to almost be in focus. This is a very pretty photo!
