I took this earlier this summer as part of a series.............tried something different on this. Slight softening and low key color work to get a bit of mood. Otherwise cropped to frame.
I might take a bit off the right but I can't part with the water drops.............This may fall between this forum and OOTB, but I still like posting here..............OK to move.
Nikon d3s
f/16
1/25 sec
ISO 800
140mm
Comments pls.............
I'm still having upload sharpness problems, can't figure it out. The original is 2x- 3x sharper.

Lovely photo and I like the horizontal crop.
In fact I might even take a tiny bit more from bottom.
I also think the right side water drops and leaf are a very nice feature of the photo and draw some attention from the more hectic tlc.
Photo looks pretty sharp to me.

yup, I debate about the ULC, like the colors, but maybe too bright.................undecided on further cropping......

Lovely photo.
Amazing what that little touch did. It really simplified the whole photo.

Hi Jay. I think your repost really improved the comp. The flower is nicely positioned and all the water drops are a big plus. The image looks acceptably sharp on my monitor. Well done. :)

Hi Jay, the OP looks good and the repost looks even better! You've got a great mix of colors and although it doesn't look tack sharp, I like it that way. It has a dreamy quality which fits your title perfectly. :)

Jay the repost is definitely the version I like best. Might I suggest just a touch of CW rotation to even out the base of the flower? It's leaning a bit to the left and, although that might be how nature does it, I'd give it a quick straightening and see what you think.
Lovely colors and an orton-like feel really brings out the beauty of this one!

Thanks everyone...........
Jules, wouldn't you know it, I did a CCW rotation.....!:) to put the flow a bit lower in the frame........I'll give the original another look. Thanks for the feedback.
Dave, great feedback on the ULC..............
