Elisabeth,

Beautiful color in this. I think I might prefer that the center of the flower were sharper but that would be hard to do at this f/stop of course. Good looking image as posted.

Your work with shallow dof is stellar. Another superb shot.

Very beautiful. I like your choice of DOF. The only thing that bugs me a little bit is the sharp petal at the far left.

Very well captured Elisabeth. I was thinking maybe a bit more DOF in the center, but after looking a while longer, I'd say its spot on as is. My only teeny tiny nit is that my eye is bouncing a wee bit between the center of the flower and the in focus petal portion in the LRC. :cool:

A dreamy wash of color Elisabeth. I like how you have composed this too. My only suggestion would be to selectively blur the lower right area so that the entire purple area of the bloom was out of focus. Nice work. :smile:
