    Hi Kostas - Like the 3D feel to this...on my screen looks like it could use a little more sharpening.
    Feels a little tight at the bottom - IMHO.

    HI Kostas...very nice background....agree with lance too tight on the bottom. I would also suggest the softer light of a cloudy day

    Did you blur the background in Photoshop? I'm seeing what appear to be a lot of telltale traces.

    I like the top view and the blurred background, seem like you need a bit more sharpening. Seem like you are having fun with your new camera.

    yes i did more blur in BG than it was as it was a bit of buzy . i know it needs more PS work i said that already .
    i agree too that is too tight up and down . the crop i did to the flower is from the left and the right . maybe i should give some more with the PS in top and bottom ...
    thank all for the comments and the replys .

    The method that you used created pink halos around the subject. There is a different method that won't create halos, discussed in these two threads:

    Yes, I understand that it needs more work. I was trying to suggest a different approach: If you blur the background in
    a way that doesn't create halos in the first place, then you won't need to do more work to fix them.
