All the flowers and trees are in full bloom so i decided to go out and take some pretty pictures. Keeping the challenge in mind i saw these two flowers on the end of a branch and obviously put my f stop to the lowest it went and came up with this.

I see I am not the only person who failed to see the connection to the challenge in this one. It does have two flowers hanging on the end, and I overlooked that element. I think what happened here is that the clever title overpowered the image.

If I were handing out a shoehorn award, I think this entry would get it. I admire the chutzpah to put that twist on it. I like the bokeh, though the light on this is pretty hard.

im not sure how this is even

Very nice I like how you made the backround fade and the weaping flower really stand out and be your focal point.

The colours are good but the background is a little too busy for my liking. Maybe a wider aperture or standing further away with more zoom would blur the background more to isolate the flower.

Beautiful composition. Depth of field had been achieved, but i think somehow, i still get a little distracted.

I really don't think your objects ask for a centered composition. Taking them out of the center and using the negative space for the bokeh formed by the other OOF blossoms could keep the viewer longer into your picture.

color seems alittle too much

I find the background too busy and distracting.
