Try to get the heart of your subject in focus. Here, the front petals alone are sharp. Nice composition otherwise.

Pretty subject. The lily isn't quite in focus--seems that you focused on the closest petal rather than the center of the flower. Softer lighting would work better also.

A very average entry, centered, boring compsition, lacks contrast.

great color combo, good balance, clarity could be sharper

Definitely meets the challenge and exhibits proper bokeh. The subject matter leaves me wanting (not because it's a flower - I have nothing against flowers - it just lacks a "wow" factor for me). A little smaller aperture would have put more of the flower in focus as well. It looks like you shot with 2.8 or 3.5, thus only capturing the front peddle of the flower - focusing in the center of the flower at those apertures (as opposed to the front peddle), would have produced a better image (IMO). Good luck!

The bokeh is very nice but the main subject is not very strong.
