I don't keep up with the contests, Chris, but I think there's one coming up called Depth of Field. This would be an outstanding entry. The focus is perfect. The colors are wondrous. The only thing that bothers me at all is the bloom in the background which throws off the balance just a tinge. Your work is always superb, and this shot easily drops right into that category.

Great dof shot, I like the lighting effect

Beautiful. I love the color of those flowers. :)
