Elegant and great feel Not sure if its possible but maybe having the top flower turned a little more? I like the choice of lens for the dof !! Excellent !!!

Hi Gus - Agree with AL - elegant and great feel :)

Hi Gus, this is simple, yet elegant. You seem to pay as much attention to the background as to the subject in your images. I'm trying to make that habit second nature. The green tonalities are very nice here. And you're really far away from your subject too!!

Hi Gus...I love the colors and bg in this image. i agree it has kind of an asian feel to it. My only suggestion would be to try a softer light on such delicate litle flowers. keep them coming!
