 After whining in the forum about feeling excluded I felt I had to enter something. I took one of the suggestions and used my super Macro setting with my adaptor and 4x magnifying lens. Took a bunch of photos and this was clearly the best of my 1st bokeh attempt. Creative.... ? Maybe the title. I adjusted the levels, brightnes contrast saturation and USM adjusted size and saved for web.

Nice use of bokeh to compliment the main subject.

Nice background. I would shift the flower more to the left to show more background (this way it will also fit the rule of thirds better).

Ok, there is some bokeh working her. Problem I see that is going to negatively impact your score is the composition primarily and the subject secondly. The floral item is smack dab in the center of this image. Nothing really going on to be excited about. Maybe a bug or something to add interest? Early morning dew drops? Personally, I take floral shots once in awhile...just trying to be honest. Good luck in the challenge.

Nice image, and great sharpness. I would have liked the bokeh a bit more pronounced, but I can definitly see it.

One of the best flower shots, very sharp and vivid. I like the composition.

If I where to improve it would be to have a different background color where the leafs are, because they merge a bit, but still great!

Good luck with your entry! :-)

Main flower is fairly small in the frame, and yet quite centralized. All this picture needs is a better composition.
