I like the glowing effect you put in this shot. It's almost like you can see the aroma.

Wonderful. Would have done well in the soft focus challenge as well.
I definitely like the soft effect, good composition and nice colors.
You know, the lilly bulbs smell even better. I have worked four years in the lilly business. Taking their heads off (the rotting heads have a very distinctive smell), weeding, digging them up, cleaning (the bulbs are washed in a gigantic washer), sorting, peeling (the flakes of a lilly bulb can be grown to create a new one) etc... All stages have their own smell, I can recall them all, they were all good. It was hard work, but satisfying.

Beautiful soft focus. This would work well in the soft focus challenge too.

nice use of soft focus. colors and glow - a real atmosphere that begins to capture the intense aroma of the stargazer, wish the crop wasn;t in so close on the flower, i'd like to see more edges of petals.

Nice shot. Could probably use some brightness/contrast tweaking though. Other than that its nicely done.
