surprisingly underrated. This has much of the same quality of a few shots in the top 100.
I don't get it. |

| Curious depth of field on this image. I would recommend increasing the D.O.F just slightly to get both the pistol and stamens in sharper focus |

| This is very cool, the soft focus works well with this. |

Very pretty... I'm lovin' the bokeh. I wish it were centered, though (cropped off right side) since the flower seems to be leaning out of the left side of the frame a bit. Lovely job on the PP.
Not voting yet. |

| Nice macro - love the tones. Focus seems just a hair off, but still gotta give it a 7. |

| DOF is just a little shallow IMO |

I really like this picture, but if I'm honest I think I'd like to have seen a tad more sharpness at some point in the image. I really like low DOF images but I think that works best where you can see a point of real sharpness. I have seen soft images that I really like, but they tend to use depth a bit more effectively and have more interesting colours; I'm thinking of the sort of images  ursula produces. Still, this is a nice picture though and for all my nit-picking, I have given a 7. |

| really soft gentle image. if anything the reddish tone off on the right is a bit distracting- its nit picky though. |

| Beautiful bokeh! I just would like to see the flower with more focus, but this blurry yellow is sooo amazing in my opinion! Great shot! |

In the vastness of the universe, floating through clouds of stardust and energy, it lived. It had existed since the beginning of all knowledge and existence. It was old beyond measure, but even the eldest of things must one day cease to be.
Yet it was not to die without cause, without purpose. It floated there, in the emptiness that was not entirely empty, a massive pod that could swallow a billion planets. Old and decayed and withered. It floated there and seemed dead to any eyes that might behold it.
Then, so slowly that even time could not measure it, it began to open. A crack appeared at one end, and it began to bloom. Over the eons that remained of its life, it cracked open to reveal its legacy. The birth of a thousand newborn entities of its likeness.
And as they scattered into the vast unknown, it finally ceased to be. Its consciousness winking out in a final unremarkable gasp. |

| Very nice job with the soft blur and depth of field. I bet the critics are having a field day with your soft focus. Don't listen! |
