Critique Club:
I like it that you are trying a different view on flowershots. Much more interesting than just a close up of an flowe. I think the flowers out of focus in the foreground is so light it draws my attention to it. I would try to dodge the flower in the center of the picture. So the attention would go straight to that. And maby darkening the flowers in the foreground.

Good job and good luck in future challenges.

I find the out of focus foreground a bit too much for my taste

I don't normally like blury foregrounds, but this seems to work. You might try cropping the top 1/4 of image.

this would have been a much stronger image had you used a very small aperture or otherwise gotten rid of the very distracting foreground and framing elements.

I like the shot but not the cropping, I'd get rid of most of the green at the top and some of the out of focus at each side, that would give more emphasis to the subject - the blossoms that are in focus

I like the way you have the flowers framed but the background does not help the photo IMO

blurry foreground is distracting and really takes away from the central subject of the one stripped tulip

nice shot, but the two blurred flowers in the forecround are a bit distracting

the flowers in the foreground are interesting, but they take up too much of the frame without framing the subject in the centre so it distracts.
