Very nice, Sid! You got a wonderful composition, nice DOF (depth of field) and some majorly sweet bokeh in the BG (background.) Good stuff all around!

I like it a lot Sid !! Might want to bump the saturation/contrast on the leaves They should pop !!

With a special bg like that I would experiment moving around a bit for different yellow coverage I like it a lot !!!

Great capture Sid. Excellent background and composition.
How are you doing with your lens?

Very nice feel to this. Has a different tone that I quite like.

Hi Sid, I'm echoing what Jules said!

Sid,
very well done, composition is great. I like the simplicity of the flower and the angle of capture...good job.
Personal taste, I would suggest on kicking up the contrast just a tad, and adjusting your brightness slightly...one again, a job well done...:cool:

Hi Sid, Lovely image - would agree with Gus.

Normally having part of the BKGR in shade and part in sun would not work, but this one does and I like it. A crop from the bottom to a near-SQ might improve it.
