Vincent, I like the colors and I think it would be nice if you would be kind enough to share your intent for this image. I'm not quite sure what you wanted to accomplish?

Thanks so much.

This image is a deviation from recent work where my primary goal was extreme DOF. This image I wanted something different, more abstract with a softer feel and simple background. I was able to isolate this flower from the group for a simple composition and I shot it. :smile:

Hi Vincent :wavey : Love this impressionistic capture. When form is dissolved in light and color. I see beauty here indescribable by words :toast:

Great use of DOF and selective focus Vincent. Nice colors too.

Beautiful colors Vincent both in the subject and carried through in the supporting bg. DOF decision is perfect for my tastes. Gorgeous. No suggestions.

Gives me the impression of a gas pilot light. Just lovely!
