"Yellow & Pink"

A typical Thai water lilly. What works, what doesn't? Feedback is

appreciated.

Good composition and lighting. Vibrant colors.... Nice work. Regards.

Not bad, not bad at all. The colors are eye popping. The blur hurts the image just a bit as I'm sure you already know.

Very pleasing image

Beautiful lighting and colors, but it appears to be somewhat soft at the focal point. Sondra

Sorry, I'm with the rest on this one - the blur is too distracting because it divides two sharp areas. Nice colors, though.

Would have to echo the sentiments already expressed.

CR: When Wilson "does a bloom" you have to look closely. And really, the position/cropping is excellent! The colours, and the idea of heavy dissolving of sharpness is outstanding! CL: Although the blur on the "bottom" of the bloom is quite interesting it is distracting at the tops in the foreground! HAND, RE

Beautiful, Wilson!! I love the play between the pinks and yellows ... with absolutely NO other colors present!!

Wilson- I'm rather partial to blurs and I find this extremely attractive. I must admit it kind of reminds me of one of those rubber ball like playthings, can't remember the name at the moment. Nature has a way of combining colors so beautifully! Composition is perfect!

Viewed large as ordered now i can't get out...what blur??? You mean the shallow DOF? Wow this is dreamy Wilson...love it. 7/5

The shallow depth of field works for me fine but enjoy the photo much more when viewed larger. Check out my few macro piccy's Added a 6/6

Thank you everyone for your kind feedback. I guess the DOF wasn't deep enough so the sharpness was only at selected area. Handheld at f8 just doesn't cut it in macro, I guess. ^_^
