Beautifully crafted image Sandy, and your choice of DOF is fantastic, the little flower to balance the frame ..the light patch behind the large flower ...well done

I like your composition Sandy. A strong sharp focus point with receding dof. Very natural can't fault it. Graham

Wonderful overall. I especially like that you present the large flower so detailed and the smaller as mood support. The BG is luscious. :jump:

Soft selective focus is one of my favorite ways to shoot florals. This is very pretty
