wow, what a beautiful field of flowers! I think it would look better with the focus a little closer, and maybe open up the aperature a little more. That big, out of focus flower front, bottom, center is distracting for me, it would be nice to move the focus there. just my thoughts!

I have tot ell you that I love the concept!
I do have to agree that the huge flowers in the fornt that are out of focus is distracting tho.
It might also be my monitor but it seems to have a bit of a green tint on the flower petals.

Hi Revik,

Wow! What a great subject! And beautiful light!

Personally, I would like to see the image with everything in focus. The foreground, middle ground and background, but that is my taste. If you want to use selective focus on the middle, then I would have tried to get higher (stand on a box or something) and try to get the foreground to be less than 1/3 of the image.

I really like this.
