fine colors , prefer more DOF so the white rim frills are sharp

Enjoy viewing

More DOF was my first thought but perhaps conditions wouldn't allow. Beautiful plant and good shot in any case, I do like the square format and the color.

Actually since all the 5 petal tips are blurred it looks appealing to me. The focus right at the center is just perfect for this view. Great background also to go along,

I like the DOF like this - it makes the flower center appear to float. A creative look.

Thanks guys.
Originally this was part of a stacking sequence, but some frames were 'wind affected'. Hence my choice of a specific detail with this choice of one.

Hi

I like the colour and the comp is ok - but I'd agree with the others not really sharply enough define anywhere to give a primary focus, or point of interest imo

All the best
Matthew
