I haven't shoot many flowers this season, but here's one...

I like this Gale. I like the darker look of the image and the very specific focus leaving forground and background blurred. It's really nice. Good job.

I like this a lot, Gale. I love the warm hue of the flowers, and the shallow DOF is quite refreshing for a Dogwood bloom shot. Thanks for sharing.

Gale, I really like the isolation on the one bloom, great work. Don't forget I have a Chair-Brella waiting on you.

Always love the Dogwoods - nice job on this one.

Gale, I like your approach and the selective focus used here. It looks like you could bump the whites just a little to give more pop to the main subject. Good job on this one.

Looks like you caught this one at just the right time. I'm not too sure the closest blooms are helping the overall composition - they just seem a little too blurred and indistinguishable for my tastes.
