    Made this abstract with lensbaby and macro filters (+10 and +4) stacked up.

    Nikon D300
    ISO200, f/2.8 disc, 1/30, window light.

    Okay, so I explained the whole Lensbaby for no reason...hahaha! This is beautiful, Kaushik! Only thing I can see that might improve on what you've done would be to blend the white area right above the shortest petal just a bit more. Don't you love that 2.8 aperture ring? I have to make myself take it off and try other things!

    Lovely soft abstract, Kaushik. :) Love the high-key, monochrome look. I might lighten the dark petal on the bottom right because I think it draws some attention away from the main petal. Very nice image!

    Absolutely stunning! Spectacular use of shallow DOF! Might smooth the white area Jules mentioned......but this is still fantastic!

    There are so many lovely soft images on this site and this is another one of them. Is this a B&W conversion or true colours Kaushik?

    Lovely! Beautiful composition and tones. Agree with Jules re. whiter spot. I am not going to buy a lens baby, I'm not going to buy a lens baby, I'm not going to buy a lens baby......

    Kaushik, I like the composition and the shallow DOF. But what I like most is the thoughtful use of B&W. Very well done.:)

    Thank you all.

    @Jules: I see your point Jules.

    This is a B&W conversion in photoshop. The original flower was yellow in colour.
