Nice photo, but I think the main subject is sort of lost against the bright, contrasty background, even though that background is thrown way out of focus.
Actually, I like your DOF...sailorman has his points, and I agree for the most part, but after taking some time to really look hard at your focus, it comes across very well. Subtle, but very nicely done.
We don’t make art to show someone what something looks like. All this requires is eyes (or a lens). Art is supposed to have meaning, emotion, power, or magic. Alan & Mario "FourThirds"
A fine little bloom holding its own, and producing some lovely buds and petals. I like the out of focus background with the muted colours - it helps bring out the softness of this scene. Appreciate your sharing :^>
