Nice simple shot of this flower, Nigel. Good DOF choice to get the one main flower in focus and the rest more blurred. Is this a wildflower in North America or only domesticated?

Nigel - I really like focus and the DOF for the main bloom. I am not certain that the lots of surrounding foliage/buds etc shown as OOF is adding to the aesthetics. Dame's Rocket is almost considered a weed I think.

The color on this one looks off to me. I wonder if you forgot to convert from your working color profile to sRGB before saving. The composition is fine for my taste.

I really like the way the OOF the main subject grows out of the OOF details at the lower right.
