@Koushiro~光子郎: Thank you so much for your kind words. I'm having a lot of fun discovering new worlds.

That's a close macro and the structure of the flower almost makes it look like a zoom effect has been applied.. most interesting.

@Earnest: Thanks. I liked the zoom look. In fact, I tried to apply a little bit of zoom in PS, but, it didn't look good, so, I left it as is.

Betsy Barron from United States

wooooo! I like the soft focus or wind blowing or zooming you did there - looks lovely!

@Betsy Barron: Thanks, Betsy. I didn't zoom and the wind didn't blow. It is just out of focus longer petals. My series will consist of photos with increasing dof.

Really cool shot - very different from most of your other stuff, with the enhanced DoF. Well done.

Wow, this is so beautiful and delicate. They seem floating in mid-air!

@standley: Thank you. If I'm not careful, all my flowers will start floating.

Wow ... seems to be the preferred descriptor today ... but that's exactly what I said when this popped on the screen! So soft and luscious ... sweet shot, Anita!
