I really like this image; it's a testament to the primary importance of technicals to DPC voters that it didn't do better. It does say pure to me, in a way that reflects, well, just pure. Not pure this or that, but just pure (like your saying, "Pure as the driven snow" isn't really about snow). I might have (emphasize might) have dropped the center of the flower a bit lower and to the left, but it's very strong as is. For me, the soft focus emphasizes the point of the image. Is purity always in supposed to be in focus?

Not sure if the soft focus is helping or not...

Barely sharp enough to figure out what it is. You might have to back off a bit and crop the unwanted part out to get a sharper picture.

Lack of focus and no point of focus really lets this shot down IMO, Has potential.

I don't see the connection with the title. Too over exposed

The out of focus is distracting.
