 Oh I may get hammered for this one but I like it. Very little processing and I like the way the flowers stand out compared to the background. I didn't want a close up of a flower a week after so many flowers were in the members challenge last week. Speaking of that, this has bokeh and flowers. I may regret entering this one so soon after the "bokeh II" challenge. Oh well!

5.1 does seem very low for this nice shot. I would have expected to see this at about 5.9-6.2. Even though the depth of field is nice and soft, the gazebo is still the highest contrast element in the frame and draws the eye pretty hard. Good work!

I like the color of the background in contrast to the flowers, but the flowers could use a little more light on them.

Love the out of focus gazebo in the background.
Makes this feel like the garden I'd like to have.
