I love the BG colors Wayne. Nice use of DOF. The dirt on the petals bothers me a bit.

Love the dreamy effect here, and the colors. I guess I would have taken out the little spots, but it does spoil the natural effect of your image, that 's for sure..

Wayne - I love that peachy background a lot - goes well with the flower :cool: . I'd clone away a few dust/dirt spots on the petals.

I should have mentioned the reason for not posting for a long time. I had knee replacement surgery Jan 10th, and it went bad. I've just recently been shooting again.

Wayne:
Welcome back. Sorry to hear about your knee but good to see you are getting about again.

You have started a flurry of orange flower post. The bg is just sweet. The Zinnia is beautiful too.

Great to have you back Wayne, and hope the healing goes well. I like depth and point of focus, and as suggested, would like this without the small dirt spots. Well taken and displayed.

Lovely bokeh in this image, but I would be tempted to clean-up the dirt spots on the petals in post processing. Nicely captured Wayne.

This is beautiful Wayne. Sorry to hear about the surgery and the complications but the good news is that your are able to get out shooting again and get such interesting images.
