Last minute entry, against my better judgment throwing two lensbaby shots up this week. Expecting this one to bomb just like my ABC entry is doing at the moment. But I really love the bokeh here. Hopefully someone else out there will too.

Lensbaby + muted saturation + noise = 4.5

Too grainy, the soft focus makes it look blurry instead of adding to the picture's depth.

the editing has made this very noisy.

Being super critical: it is grainy and the colors are dull.
Positive: good composition

Using a noise removal tool would really help this photo. It looks as if it was taken at a high ISO.

Different tones than most of the other flower entries, a change is always nice to see. Good soft focus entry!
