*Critique Club*
I see that there are some mixed feelings on the border, which is really the first thing that jumped out at me. I am one of the ones that don't like it much at all. While it does enhance it's purpose in the challenge, it kind of reminds me of my grandma's wordrobe back in the 80's. *shudder*
This looks like those little purple clovers we get in our yard, but I assume it looks much different after it's opened up all the way.
The background works very nicely here. I like how you have blurred it to the point that it contains no distracting elements, and stays out of the way of the subject. It really does let the flower be the center of attention.
I think that the focus on the flower is great. Wonderful detail, and the capture of the little water droplets creates supurb detail.
The lighting conditions look like the were working with you for this shot. Natural lighting is always my favorite, I think.
I think the angle is nice as well. I like how you have the stem going down into the bottom right corner, that is very pleasing to the eye.
The colors IN the photo are great. Ditch the orange though. :)

| a simple black border would have done this shot well too. :) I love the shallow focus which gives a nice purple marked indistinct green background. |

| Good job. Like the focus. Don't like that the subject is right in the middle. The boader is a little too much. 6 |

| I like the depth of field and the subject, found the innermost border a little distracting. |

| One of the most appealing flower photographs I have ever seen. It should place very well in the competition. I love the focus, the lighting and even the 3 color border. |

| Like the composition and the focus on the chive bud. A little more blur in the background wouls have been better (and maybe one less color in the border). But, well done. 8 |

| this is a great shot, with the bulb being framed by the (presumably) other bulbs in the background outside of the focus range. only nit would have been the have it lit a little better, but the detail and the composition are wonderful. |
