Olympus E-1, 150mm F2, tripod, iso 100, 1/125 at F7.1, 5 second mirror lock pre-fire. Slight crop from right hand side and image reversed (not sure why but I find this bloom orientation more pleasing)
For obvious reasons from last post, getting clean even green backgrounds is tricky, not sure if the OOF blooms add or detract

Hi Mike
I like the composition and the OOF background. I might clone out the round yellow blob near the base of the flower, minor issue though. I have never seen a double-header, let alone a double white.
Like it.
cheers

Very nice and a much better composition than your earlier post!
Prefer this one to your previous one now that the bottom of the stem is visible.I find the background fine,in fact,prefer it with the out of focus distant flowers,particularly the purple ones which add an extra element of interest and a welcome splash of extra colour to the scene.
