Comment from Life is but a dream.
By way of this review I want to congratulate you on a flower photo that is so refreshing and natural capturing the beauty without post processing layer work. You have shown us that the natural state of a flower is precious and stunning and no need to overcook, overlayer and improve upon something that takes our breath away.

Congratulations to you on your first place win. So very well deserved.

But they seem to be everywhere. A well composed shot to create that impression. The colors are beautiful an the image is quite sharp. Best of luck in the contest.

The blooms in the middle of the picture are crisp and sharp and the lighting and color is well done. Everything in the front and in back seems a little out of focus, though. They really are tiny flowers..very Pretty. Thanks for Sharing!

That's intentional. I was set at f/5.6 to get that effect. Thanks so much.
