Very nice use of f/3.5 resulting in a beautiful image, loads of artistic flair Scott.
You really have a great eye for the shot, excellent use of the morning light..
Sweet!

Sweet composition. The shallow DOF, the shepherding of light to surround the subject via the (natural?) vignetting, all make for a superior floral work. Good stuff, Scott.

I don't use the word "dreamy" much, but this has that appeal to it, Scott. An excellent rendition of this very common plant.
Exposure, light, DOF.......just a wonderful look.....

Gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous, Scott! I love the framing of the main bloom, and the lines of the other stems. The shot has a wonderful, painterly feel. Excellent in every way - I am jealous!

Incredible shot, Scott!! The wide aperture lends a great artistic style to the image, and the comp and vignette only back that up.
The only thing that catches my eye is the dark outline on both the left and right sides of the in-focus flower. Is this due to the transition from focus to out-of-focus? or a processing artifact?

Beautifully focused, Scott, with a great sense of depth and atmosphere. Much incident in the composition, all perfectly balancing the central flower.

An incredibly gorgeous composition, Scott. The dof you chose was inspired as I really like the repeated stems fading into the bg.

elegant composition and good focus on-off play. Good also the essential and clear chromatism.
All the best,
