Great job Ned, I like the OOF bloom lower left and the flowers colors.

The OOF areas really do work well, Ned. I also like the stem of the little bud in the foreground. It helps direct the eye.

Saw this on FB...very nice, summery, and I like the focus and comp.

Spring is definitely in the air, and nice to see some color! I love the flower with its tight central focus, but am not so sure about the foreground bud. It looks like I'm in the minority on that one though :smile: .

Ya know, Ned, I'm going to have to stop saying that I hate these kinds of photos since every one you take, I think are done real well and I actually like them!

The color and depth in this one is fantastic.
I might crop out to just a hair below the tip of the bottom petal.
