Again with some wash at the base from blooms closer to the front element. I know some petal edges are OOF but that is a trade-off between the wash needed and background. Did not seem like a horrible deal breaker in the end to me. But you be the judge.

Thanks a lot for your comments on Aster and let me know what you think of this one.

Beautiful, Ram. No nits. Well chosen subject. I like the complementary buds counterbalancing the main blossoms. :toast:

This is really nice Ram. Excellent use of trade-offs. I think it works very well. What aperture were you at?

This is beautifully done. Any oof petals seem to be perfectly compatible to me. You have a lovely balance of in focus and oof areas. The cramming is so complimentary. Absolutely no nits here!

Great shot Ram, the different levels of darkness in the creamy background really works well. I might have preferred it just a bit more zoomed out, but that's a big might and its a beautiful photo.

Spectacular image Ram! The detail in the petals and the softness all around work very well. Excellent capture.
