I had this one in my files and I'm thinking of putting it in the current DOF contest but I'm also considering several others or perhaps a new shot all together. Too many choices! All comments, criticisms or pointers appreciated.

It's certainly a great view, Kathy. The dahlias in the foreground and their foliage are pin-sharp. The patterns formed by the background flowers are very intruiging too.

Kathy - All of the foreground flowers are in crisp focus, set against the blurred background flowers. This photo certainly defines depth of field. Thad

Gorgeous dahlia's ... plus I love how blurred flowers in the background add depth to the image & I can imagine the whole beauty of this flower garden. Wonderful capture Kathy & it would make an excellent contest entry.

Superb clarity and colours in these lovelies, Kathy! I also like the additional colours that the background flowers bring to the image. I believe it would make a super contest entry. Beautiful work!

Beautiful image -- very clear and bright, and the angle of it is attractive, with the other flowers at the back. Good luck in the contest!
