 This was a pink tulip I bought out of my DPC petty expenditure budget ;)

After shaking the camera for an hour taking my usual blur shots, I tried a couple of focus shifts like Heida did in the impressionism challenge during a long exposure. Really like what it did for this, so I went with it. Not many changes before the typical resize -- especially given I just took it at 11:15 EST and then not much time to process. Mainly processed in Bibble, did color balancing, small saturation boost, (only 15 on the Bibble slider) and small crop.

I agree with graphicfunk on this one. Your shots are all wonderful, and probably better suited framed, and hung on a wall! This should have placed MUCH higher, but you know how the voters are in here, we've talked about it before. You keep up what your doing, because it works wonderfully! B

Neil: Be very proud. This is by far the golden nugget of this challenge. No other image can do more justice to a wall than this little masterpiece.

Neil, this is pure beauty. This is perfection. Should have been a ribbon.

This image steals my senses away 8. Bumping up another notch to 9 The final bump 10. This is by far one of those images that enamors the viewer.

A bundle of color...of all the shots I've looked at so far, this one really creates the most emotion. Absolutely stunning!

This is beautiful. I love the softness, the colors and the composition. I hope your scores are fairing better than mine with a similar subject & shallow dof! Yours does have more color -- mine is all pink. Best of luck!

A little too soft in my opinion.

It will probably get beat up, but not by me. Very pretty.

one of the top shots for sure. the soft focus goes really well with the softness of pink. i also like the bit of green. it compliments the pink very well.

Personally Ilike it a lot. We'll see how it fares. The green lower right seems a bit too extreme for this image, though. A strong score from me.
