Very pretty. I like the processing. The glow effect works well here. This would look great on canvas.

really nice bokeh, colors and DOF! But not sure about the frame and it looks more like a painting than a photo.
Otherwise I like this shot!
aaaah! It's not easy for me....

Love the photo and the Post processing, hate the border, much to big and the drop down shadow well you get the idea.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
10/04/2007 04:31:06 AM
I think the border is excessive. The image itself is SO LOVELY. I really adore the colors and style.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Ver. very pretty - almost painterly. The bokeh, and the light, are wonderful and really show the flower off to best advantage - the back-lighting on the stem is exquisite. Super work!

very pretty, great light overall, light the highlights for definition on the stem. Nice matching bokeh. Great processing.

  Photographer found comment helpful.

nice composition, colors and very good DOF. a bit too soft for my taste, looks more like a painting than like a photograph. don't like the shaded border.
