A nice and dreamy shot. Did you add the fog? It does have a magenta cast. Is the cast from a reflection?

I shot this through other flowers that were close to my lens to achieve the blurry effect.

Richard, that's a very lovely shot! The folks in Flora Forum would really enjoy seeing this. The technique of "cramming" flowers is a fun one and you executed it perfectly here. There's so much great color; the oof area frames the flowers so well. The in-focus flowers look absolutely pristine. Way to go. Congrats.

This is awesome, Richard. I wish I had one this nice.
