 The Image; Being a real black and white guy these days, I thought I would try something a little colourful!

The Edit: Nothing too exciting. Did a duplicate layer and used soft light as the blending mode...some burning, noise ninja, some selective blurring...I like the image overall.

Prediction: will it get to six?

Post Challenge: An OK result I guess...I had a better one, but after so much editing, I just didn't see it and entered this. Thanks for the votes everyone...

Here is the outtake:

This caught my eye as I just received an arrangement for my birthday that had tulips in it. The pictures I tried to take have nothing on ths. Beautiful. I love the soft focus and how it lets the colors and lines take center stage.

Very nice soft shot with soft curves and color. Another photograph I though would score higher. Congratulations on a great shot.

beautiful, the perfect DOF teases you into wanting more sharpness but it's up to your mind to make it up. My only comment is that the background is a little distracting

Nice colors, the soft focus down left fits well.

For me the softness of focus in the overall image coupled with the pastel colors create a very pleasing image with the curves of the petals.

The rich color tone blends well with the soft focus and delicate petals...nicely done macro!
