decreasing the dof would have provided a less distracting background.... overall, the pic is very busy....

Nice shallow DOF but the image is not very appealing at least to me...

Beautiful spring feeling to this photograph. The background is a bit busy, but with your use of DOF is not bothersome as it could be. Good luck!

This came out a lot better than when I've tried this -- good work with the exposure.

Lovely image. If it was mine, I'd probably crop the bottom third because I think the very pleasant story is in the in-focus blossoms against their immediate background.

I think that the the bottom third of this shot could be cropped out to accentuate the focal point and make the composition a little more pleasing to the eye.
