Keith,
I love the shallow dof here. The ends of petals in focus lead my eyes towards this delicate and delightful image. Beautiful subtle colors.

Nice experiment! Capturing bits of those three petals in focus worked out quite well, and I really like the bokeh of the rest of the image.

Very nice shot! The oof pastel colors really set off the in-focus petal tip. I like your POV and DOF control.

That's shallow alright.

I really like the effect.

Hi Keith

Very creative use of DOF here. A lovely composition with wonderous pastel color.

Keith: Delightful color palette and a beautiful SOA offering. I like the dynamic diagonal orientation of the flower especially. Well done.>=))>
