Challenge: Centered Composition (Advanced Editing II)
Camera: Fujifilm FinePix S602Z
Location: Sacramento, CA

Aperture: 2.8

 A little bit of "cliche" but oh well, no time to look for something else.

Cropped a little to center the yellow bud and to include the out of focus flower on the bottom, and then rotated 90 degrees to the right. Cloned out a lot of tiny white specs on the leaves. Auto contrast. Curves. Channel mixer to give the leaves a more vibrant color. Neatimage. Resize to 640x??. USM (1.0 pixel). Save for the web at 86% quality.

what nice focus, and the flower in lower right really adds to the shot

The short DOF gives this a surreal effect, I like it.

Wonderful, I especially like the out of focus flower in the lower-right.

Nice DOF, the flower really pops! I wish your background was just a little less over-exposed, especially toward the bottom of the pic.

Great shot! very good separation of the flower from the background, great use of color. Love the flower in the corner too, makes a nice accent to the shot, I think.

I wouldn't have included the other flower in the frame, but the photo is just beautiful regardless. Really nice shot.

The focus seems right on, however the chosen composition doesn't seem to work, the image is very static. Zooming in and filling the frame with the flower may have worked better. 4

Very nice flower - one of too many in the challenge. The repeated shape in the bottom right corner is terrific. Colors are a dream and work especially well together,

Nice use of DOF to isolate the flower. It makes it look almost 3-D.

Really like how the little background flower is placed in the corner - gives some life and action to the image.
