You used F5.6 apprature setting, but at the distance you must have been at, you should the highest setting possible to keep all of the leaves in focus. Overall I like it, the lighting is good, etc., just the focus.
Good job! |

In addition to what's already been said in the comments below, the title ascribes an attribute to the image which is all too obvious with respect to its subject and, inappropiately, 'leading' when alluding to the photograph.
As in all creative writing, be suspicious of adjectives, particularly when they come all too easy. A simple generic name would be better, or you could, of course, be creative and call it "Thinking of You', 'Prayer' or 'Intimate Encounter at 5 am". ;-) |

it would be a 6 or 7 from me, depending if it fit the challenge.
Reasons for not being higher are;
the blooms cut across the middle and don't lead anywhere
the rear petals are out of focus because of the shallow DOF
reasons for the 6 or 7;
nice shallow DOF
sharp focus
good contrast of colours
well done
keep shooting

| I like the way you used the shallow DOF to blurr out the background, and in general I like the flowers. By choosing to focus on so many blooms, however, you seem to have lost the sharpness of the flowers, which are (collectively) your subject. IMO, it would be improved if you had got in even closer and focused on just one blossom. In that way, you'd avoid the soft focus on the petals toward the back of the picture. Certainly a nice picture, but that is an area where I think it could be improved. HTH. |
