I like this; a good combination of in and out of focus.

Tom: Welcome to NPN in general and to the finest Flora gallery on the planet in particular. This is a very artistic presentation. I especially like the color palette and flow of the image and your DOF/POF choice. Terrific first post and looking forward to more. Great to have you aboard.>=))>

Tom - Welcome to NPN and Flora Gallery

I like this kind of work. Really looks great. Nice to see another member focusing on shapes and lines.

Excellent floral abstract, Tom. Never saw this type of image using a cactus flower, but then, I live in Ohio. Anyway, nicely done.

Welcome Tom! This is an excellent, shallow focus shot. Wonderful colors and nice, strong lines.

Thanks again. I love these flowers -- they only last a day, so you need to pay attention to enjoy their brief moment in the sun.
