Another beautiful image Simon!
I love the selective DOF, the pastel colors, the simple composition and, of course, this nice flower!

Well done Simon. Those 500mm macro lenses really do a great job on the OOF background don't they? :biggrin:

Simon,

Excellent!! The soft out of focus areas really allow the flower to stand out strongly in the image. The composition really makes for a good strong image, well done. :toast: :toast:
