    Hey Thomas,
    Very dreamlike! I usually don't like central comps but in this case I find it is effective. I do think a slight crop off the right and then proportionally off the top would eliminate the brightest area in the URC and not lose the wonderful feel of the gradient. I really like how you have used the shallow DOF very effectively!

    Thanks Roman.
    I don't care for centered motives either,but occasionally it works.
    Thanks for the input.A minor crop would suit nicely,I think!

    Nice feeling on this. Like the DOF/focus and the stem! Very nice BG. Good point about crop.

    Lovely. The blues against that green bg look very nice. I like the stem emerging from the blur. Centered comp doesn't bother me. I like the different hues in the bg. I wish the top left and top right were more similar.

    Thomas, I like this very much but find I really want a little more DOF so the blue area of the buds are as in focus as the white rings. Did you try a high pass filter to see if that would crisp them up a bit?

    Agree with Roman on a slight crop - or you could use the left side to blend the right side so they were a bit more even. I still think the gradient look works here but it does feel a tiny bit bright on that URC.
