Very nice soft, dreamy look. Appealing and artistic with enough detail to make it work. Excellent image.

Great use of that petal as a leading line into this Ram. You've got just the right amount of sharpness, and softness in this shot.
Beautifully done!

This is such a peaceful feeling picture, Ram. Love the focus and details on the center with the fading softness. Nice simple colors and contrast. Plus a great comp. Very impressive for handheld!

Lovely, soft rendering of this flower, Ram. What makes it special for me is the way the centre is so delicately poised on the spreading petals - wonderful composition !!

Excellent details Ram. Great POF on the front of the stamen (anthers? - I can never get that right). I like the DOF. I have a few shots of these little flowers, but mine did not seem to last long this year.
