Wow, stunning clarity in the immediate foreground. Great color, interesting detail and nice layout. The image might have captured "opposite" more concisely had the flower in the mid-ground not been present. Rather than two layers (figure and ground / focus and unfocused), I cannot help but see three layers -- that right-most flower. So, ultimately, I think you captured a gradient of focus and not two stark opposites.

This is a lovely shot, it really is and the DOF gives you your opposite requirement. But thre is something that was bothering me when I first saw the shot and gave it a 3 to start and coming back to comment and take more time to look I think I figured out what it is. I know this will sound nitpicky, but the flower you are using for your focus part is slightly out of focus on the bottom. I know, picky, but that is what got my attention the first time when I went through and scored according to title and first glance. Upon a second look, the 3 was harsh and I am raising the score to a 6 because it does meet the challenge but the one petal is really bugging me, especially since the bud to the right of it is in focus, I don't know why. But a 6, I may be back again :)

This is a beatuiful shot of the flower! I've had hard times trying to capture things focused and unfocused like this. Good picture!

great photo but when I look at it 'opposites' is not what I think of at all

lovely image

I thnk this would have wored better if you'd removed the foreground rightmost flower which is out of focus, leaving only the center, focused flower. Without the title I'm not sure how well this would have met the challenge. I like to see the pictures stand more on their own.

Very nice pic, nice control of DOF, sharp macro.

Lovely photo and a nice idea for this challenge! I can't think of any way to improve it so you'll get a pretty number from me to match the pretty pic.

I think it would have been better if the out of focus blossoms were laid out the same as the in focus.

Get rid of that thick border. Nice concept and execution.
