Robert! My, is this not pure enchantment? Outstanding work, my friend. Congratulations on your top ten finish.

I think the thickness of the border is appropriate, but I wonder if it might be a bit nicer with a softer color such as one sampled from a bit inwards from one of the edges. personal taste really. Great job as usual :)

This is really so lovely. You made the soft focus work very well for you here.

I would like to be able to process my flower shots as well as this one (and shoot one as well also)... quite beautiful and worthy of a top 10 finish in my personal opinion.

too much sharpening in some areas and too much smoothing in others for me.

lovely tones and composition ... the soft focus works well here
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Beautiful but unoriginal! Composition isn't strong enough to make this really stand out on DPC. The sharpness works really well on this photo though.

Well done. Love the softness/feel of it.
