Had to choose between S-Curve & Soft Focus.

Your choice off border gives your floweer a dream-like quality. I like the contrast of flower and blurred background. All in all, a nice flower photo.

It's a bit too soft for my taste, though I like the centered comp with the flower, and the square crop. Different subject would have done better with the softness, perhaps.

I don't like the fading around the border, it takes a way from the flower 5

soft focus works well on your flower.

Interesting concept - a neat take on the oft-used flower.

Centered composition works well here. Is this an outtake from the soft focus challenge? I'm not so sure I like the blur, I love to see macros really sharp.

I really like the lighting on this. The whites are very nicely exposed, and you managed to add interest to a centered composition. Great bokeh, too.

Just looks too soft and not 'radiating' white - needs a bit of levels adjustment-6

A possibly good image ruined by too much blur and the funky vignette. I think had the flower been sharp and the vignette left off this would have been a stronger image.

Nice soft focus shot and well presented for a centered composition. A bit of detail is lost in the petals (and very hard to keep!) which may knock it down in score a bit. The light vignetting around the edges does bother me just a bit - makes me want to put on my glasses, whereas the soft focus of the flower itself is just right.
