Soft Knockout

[Ken Childs]

This could probably go in macro or OOTB. I chose OOTB because of this week's theme.

Used my 100mm lens with a 20mm extension tube attached and f/3.2.

This is gorgeous, Ken. Excellent composition. Wonderful soft colors and effect. The thin frame is very effective. Glad you posted it on OOTB

[Scott Vincent]

Really interesting image Ken - definitely fits with the theme!

[Cheryl Slechta]

Ken, beautifully soft image. Are the bottom and right frames a little thicker than the other 2? I can't decide and wasn't sure if you meant it to me that way.

Very nice SOC soft effect you achieved, Ken. Has an almost air brushed quality, and like how it kind of melts into the white BG.

Ken, A very lovely soft image, perfect to start off this week's theme! I love the colors and how the flower fades into the BG. Well done!

Beautiful, soft and dreamy. I like this a lot and am glad you posted in OOTB.

Hi Ken, this is wonderfully soft - a beautiful comp. Well done!

Ken,

I love this. It's like an image capture of the thought of a flower emerging into reality.

Ken: The best of your yellow rose images! Lovely soft yellows blending into white. Diagonal placement in LRC works really well. Just enough definition. This black border works well (it is thicker on R and bottom). Not sure what the weekly theme was. Only improvement I would offer is maybe removing the petal in lower left to give the image a cleaner look.
