This image was taken yesterday at the same time as my previous post-I concentrated on a single blossom for this one. Again looking for a soft focus but not OOF image. Comments appreciated-Thankyou for looking.

I like the composition and diagonal framing Lady Denise, would suggest on running a low intensity pass of noise reduction in the background and adjusting the saturation and the contrast very, very little...:cool:

[Julie Kenward]

I agree with Gus on a round of noise reduction - it's pretty light but it's there. I'd also respectfully suggest you pull the midtones up - it will lighten/brighten the image and still keep your soft glow.

Not sure if this is better- ran more NR and made some adj.

I like the second one better Denise.

Liked the idea of keeping pink on pink BG. There's just the sufficient necessary separation between the subject & BG. Nicely done.
The re-post looks better IMO.

Thankyou all for your help and thoughts.

Very nice image! I like the soft flowers and the pink, with hints of blue. The second image you posted is my favorite--it is a bit brighter, but still soft.

I like the angle of the branch coming down to hold the delicate flowers. Beautifully composed!
