    I really like the colour rendition, very pleasing, you have purposefully limited DOF, which has some appeal, I like the faint ghost of a leaf and the OOF poppy.
    Did you take others at the same time? I am just wondering if a little more DOF may have been advantageous.

    I deleted all other images as I experimented with higher depth of field and did not like them.

    Nice image with great colors. Agree with Jonathan on dof. More of a personal preference - it would have been adequate if the flower filled the frame.

    Nice color on this one. I don't mind the out of focus flower.

    Love the concept here. If you had moved just a bit to your right for more room between the flowers I think it would have been even stronger ...
