Good morning Denise,

I like the composition and I like color here. The colors seem to work together well to create a mood. Very nice. If there is one thing I would like to see is the image on a bit more of a diagonal. Other than that, cool!

P.S. Is the Lensbaby a Christmas gift or have you had it for a while?

I like this for a Lensbaby image. If it were made with a regular lens, I'd want a little more DOF on the stem and front edge of the petal.

I do think the colors and dreamy quality are very nice. Ed's suggestion of putting it more on a diagonal is good as well. If you have room to recrop, I'd give it a try.

Hey Denise, I have the most fun with the lensbaby using the 4+ and 10+ magnafiers as you have used here. It really gets you in close for those interesting abstract. I like the color tones and composition.
