    Love the shallow DOF abstracts, Ovidiu! Angled composition, soft curving lines and colors, no lines coming out of the corners--very well done. And the crop is just right. If I could change one thing, and it is minor, I would eliminate the shadow of the in-focus petal falling on the semi-in-focus petal.

    I love the colors and I love the soft focus. Debating on a different crop but cannot make up my mind on how I would change it. TFS.

    Hi Ovidiu. Love the mix of pink pastels. The diagonal comp of the main petal also works well. Nicely done.

    Beautiful pinks! Your focus is on the exactly right spot. Lovely light. I'm no expert at this type of image, but I would favor rotating the image slightly CCW and cropping from top and L sides.

    Hey Ovidiu,
    Another stunning shallow focus image. Focus is right where it need it. I agree with Anita on the crop top and left......why? for me a small crop off the top (1/2 inch) eliminates that area from pulling my eye upwards and the proportional left crop just makes it perfect flow wise. Minor tweak preference to an outstanding image.

    Beautiful shallow focus image, Ovidiu. Great color and curving lines, make for a pleasing compostion. Agree with Anita, crop would make image even stronger. Nice work!

    Hi Ovidiu, I like the image as presented. Colors, the shapes and shades in the OOF areas and the details in the sharp areas are strong points for me, as well as the curve leading the eye trough the image.
