    From my garden. I was having fun using my 50mm lens.
    Nikon D300, 50mm, f1.8, ISO 125, 1/800, handheld, natural light.
    Processed in Elements 10, basic adjustments, plus photo filters and Viveza.

    Very delicate and lovely! I love the curve in the stem and the diffuse filter look.

    I'd crop or clone the small bright area on the right edge.

    Hi Anita, this flower has a very soft feel to it. Really like the line running up the middle of the front petal. Gary.

    Hi Anita. I love the pastels and the soft focus look - and yet you have key areas of sharpness for my eye to lock onto! I also like the curving stem and the overall diagonal of the comp. I might be tempted to crop a little off the right. This is very nicely done!

    Hi Anita, it's nice to see one of your lovely flowers here in macro again! I like the soft pastel colors on the flower and the painterly look of the BG.

    Hey Anita,
    You know I am not the biggest fan of soft focus......but this one is spectacular! Yeah.......maybe tweak a few of the yellowish orbs (mostly the one below the stem at frame edge for me) but excellent use of shalllow DOF and the BG is just killer!!!
