 Left over from the missed focus challenge. I rather like this image, so I'm posting rather than deleting.

I didn't realize that I photograph flowers so frequently. This will be my last floral post this year. I promise!

You could do a lovely Blurb book with all these excellent shallow DOF images. This is another gorgeous one.

ETA. Please don't stop shooting the flowers.

Did you mean that you sharpened the stem in camera or afterward? Regardless, I like this and all your flower shots. Why quit them now?

With or without the focus on the stem, this is very beautiful. I love the bokeh, and the sense of movement (so perhaps it would be better without the sharp part).

Hmmmmm. Focus on the stem, not the blossom. A new take on an old subject. I like it.

So I'm curious - did you select the one part of the stem for sharpening?
I really like this. Love the colors, composition, bokeh - but the sharp part of the stem stands out just a bit much for my taste. (And know that I would only mention it because of how much I really like this pictures otherwise).
