the bokeh in this shot is amazing Ursula...I have this lens! I love your large white border here...I know the voters don't often like them, but it is perfect for this shot

Ursula, I love this photo! I only wish the flare behind the flower on the left wasn't there, otherwise it's perfect. I didn't vote in this challenge but I'm so glad the voters voted you so highly.

Thank you all!

Excellent example of delicate. I think the delicate was captured by your skills, moreso than the flower itself. Congrats on the top 10, I still think this should of ribboned.

I could have sworn I commented on this during the challenge! I just love this on many levels. The circular movement of the blurred background in combination with the yummy shade of blue; the golden flower - placed in a great spot to showcase the DOF. You go girl!!!

Wonderful shades of blue Like the very lightly blurred edges on stems and the circles add a nicu unexpected extra touch. Deducted 1 point due to the circles near bottom that are a harsh white. they distract from your main theme. Otherwise a superb entry "9"

Great depth of field and color. The fact that the background is so out of focous really makes the shot.
