Very pleasing bokeh. Would have liked the lower left orchid within the DOF, but overall well done.

beautiful image, excellent bokeh. i wonder, though, if this will catch with the voters...there is something about the saturization that makes it feel a tad over processed.

This is my third time returning to your shot trying to decide what I want to say. While I love the colorful burst it contains, the colors seem to be a bit overdone. I like the bokeh, but think maybe the lower left flower makes for too many elements - not giving the eye a clear focus point, or place to rest. I REALLY want to like this shot more, but keep feeling conflicted. A tad too busy? A single flower with your wonderfully soft background might have been a winner.

The border is distracting.

to much something? Not sure what, but doesn't look natural to me.

Very good bokeh, maybe one flower head would have improved it, I feel the second one detracts slightly.
Wonderful colurs, good luck.

Ok...mixed feelings. I liked the picture a lot at first. After closer inspection I noticed the odd blurry hazed around even the part of the flower that should be in focus. This could be over processing in post. I think your blue pedal could be a little sharper focused. Still a good shot...better tham many.

The focal range of the two flowers is too close for my taste. The lower flower is distracting. However you have nice boken in the bachground...
