The colors and lines of the flower are really nice. Image does look a tad soft, seems like the exact focus was slightly short of the flower. :wavey:

Focus was short or you were trying to handhold this, or just too close, but the focus is definately soft. My own preference would to have not included the BG in the URHC either. I too like the color and lines of this flower.

Neat lines and textures. The sharpness doesn't seem to be there though - did you do any sharpness in post processing.

Nice color in this, Todd. I agree with the others that the focus is off. I'd also be inclined to crop the far right to make this all about the flower. :smile:
