Adrian, that is very dramatic! A five second exposure, eh? It sure did give you a deep, intense blue.

I think the flower, crop, comp - everything - is very well done. I wish the lower leaf area were more in focus because I believe it adds something to the comp. However, since it is so OOF as compared to the rest of the image, I think I would consider cloning it out.

Very nice job on the flower itself. It's got a huge amount of visual impact!

I agree this has very dramatic and intense color. I like the comp and have mixed feelings on the lower leaf. Still a very nice shot.

The flower itself is very well handled, as stated. I also am not sure about the lower leaf. My instinct is to crop it out :) But it's up to you.

The flower looks fantastic! As Jules said that the leaf would be a good part of the comp had it been in focus but since it isn't, I'd clone it out. I also think taking a very small slice off the right side might be in order.

Thank you very much! I wasn't sure about the OOF leaves, too...but they gave me a sense of balance...
