surprisingly underrated. This has much of the same quality of a few shots in the top 100.

Very soft and delicate...great job with the shallow DoF. Beautiful!

Very subtle. Nice colors and clarity.

Curious depth of field on this image. I would recommend increasing the D.O.F just slightly to get both the pistol and stamens in sharper focus
Post actions
This is very cool, the soft focus works well with this.
Post actions
delicate image but focus seems softer than it should be.
Post actions
Very pretty... I'm lovin' the bokeh. I wish it were centered, though (cropped off right side) since the flower seems to be leaning out of the left side of the frame a bit. Lovely job on the PP.

excellent dof. very dreamy

Nice macro - love the tones. Focus seems just a hair off, but still gotta give it a 7.

hm , nice macro and toning , could be just a little bit sharper in the middle or at the zooming point.. I still give 6

I like the way it reaches out, a little sharper though would be nice

Interesting camera view, very sharp. What would it look like with a different background?
Post actions
DOF is just a little shallow IMO

I love the greens here. Wish that more of the flower petals were in focus.

Lovely soft edges and a nice bokeh.

So tiny! Nice detail and colors.

Image feels a bit dark and the DOF is a bit too shallow in my opinion.

very pretty, nice use of hte DOF, colors are perfect, this is one of the better ones in this challenge

I really like this picture, but if I'm honest I think I'd like to have seen a tad more sharpness at some point in the image. I really like low DOF images but I think that works best where you can see a point of real sharpness. I have seen soft images that I really like, but they tend to use depth a bit more effectively and have more interesting colours; I'm thinking of the sort of images ursula produces. Still, this is a nice picture though and for all my nit-picking, I have given a 7.

focus is a bit soft.......I like the OF background
Post actions
would really like to see this in sharp focus, the background in very good
Post actions
really soft gentle image. if anything the reddish tone off on the right is a bit distracting- its nit picky though.

I like the shallow DOF, but wish that the flower itself was a little sharper.
Post actions
Beautiful bokeh! I just would like to see the flower with more focus, but this blurry yellow is sooo amazing in my opinion! Great shot!

In the vastness of the universe, floating through clouds of stardust and energy, it lived. It had existed since the beginning of all knowledge and existence. It was old beyond measure, but even the eldest of things must one day cease to be.

Very nice job with the soft blur and depth of field. I bet the critics are having a field day with your soft focus. Don't listen!

Very pleasing. I am not usually a flower fan but this one intrigues me.

I love narrow DOF. This is really beautiful.

This could make a nice thank you card.

I really like the way you've gotten just the tips in focus, nice effect
Post actions
Sorry, does nothing for me. Very difficult shot to take, you done well to get what you have.
