Another excellent creation, Tarbini.
The first thing I noticed was the wonderful contrast between the purple flower and the green background. The green really accentuates the deep rich color of the petals, I think. I think it is also effective how the stem leads into the picture so that the flower is not centered, exactly. I do wonder what it would look like to be mirrored so that the stem leads left to right, instead of focusing on the flower then being led right, in effect taking the eyes down and out of the frame. The shallow depth of field also works wonderfully here. The background is obscured as to not be a distracting element, and provides a nice, natural looking "backdrop" for the flower.
The edge of the flowers is a bit soft, but I think that may just help make the center sharpness even more distinct.
You have done great work, and I can think of little else I would change. karmat

| A very simple study. I like the colours here, and those dark veins in the petals. The curve of the stem is nice. The background is perfectly blurred. Nice work. |

| Pretty, great DOF and sharpness on the center of the flower. A drop blown out on the right top of the flower. Nice colors too. |

| Nice peek into this flower. Appropriate point of vew here. Your focus is right on the stamens; it might be fun to try a wider focus to capture the petals, too. I love the mottled green background. |

| Very pretty and clean looking. It looks like you used a filter on the back, or a blur technique.. but I'm hoping that you didn't because there's no spot editing. Really nice use of DOF here... and great focus on the stamen. Nice use of composition... I really like the way it comes out of the corner, I'm guessing you used a macro lens or macro setting, and that everything that is crystal clear was on the same plane? Very beautifully done! I'm pretty sure I've seen these in the wild too, so it definitely fits the challenge. Although it's sort of plain, it is just very well done so I'm giving it a 10. Good luck! |

| Is the blue fringing natural or a result from your lens?? Nice lighting, extremely clear, and the dof works for me. |

| the purple and green are great together, and the lines in the petals are vivid. I like the stem going down into the corner. Wish the whole flower could have been crisp. |
